This is the third Nike Ajax / Nike Hercules missile base, this base is however still a military area.

Nike Ajax / Nike Hercules was a surface to air missile (SAM), they were placed on 3 locations around Copenhagen, here, near Tune airport south of Roskilde, and on Amager south of runway 04L.

Nike sites are historically very important because those missiles were the only weapon system with nuclear capability (they were able to deliver a nuclear warhead) ever to be used by Denmark. Denmark never had nuclear warheads for those missiles.
