Rytterknægten is the highest point on the Danish island of Bornholm at 162 metres (531 ft) above sea level.

[7] Rytterknægten in the Almindingen forest is not far from Ekkodalen ("echo valley") to the east and the Gamleborg castle (Viking fortress) to the southwest.

Translated into English, the memorial text on the plaque reads: "In remembrance of his Majesty King Frederik VII's highest presence on this island from 8 till 16 August 1851 with his wife, the Bornholmers out of subjectorial reverence erected this building in the year 1855 and gave it the name Kongemindet.

During the World War II, the Germans added a radio transmitter, reaching a further 60 metres (200 ft) in height but this was later removed.

The tower, with views over the entire island, is open to visitors free of charge during daylight hours throughout the year.
