I was not planning on visiting this church but I was walking past it and really needed a wee so went in to see if they had a toilet and no, they don't have it. I'm so glad I wandered in as this is such a beautiful church. The musical organs are just magnificent and they have this model of a boat hanging of the ceiling in the middle of the church which I just found so interesting and amazingly carved. I recommend visiting for for all the manual work that went into it.

God’s name, Jehovah, or its Hebrew counterpart, יהוה, is in large gold letters. The name also appears inside the gate on a commemorative plaque dated 1661. Ref below Psalms 100:4 Come into his gates with thanksgiving, Into his courtyards with praise. Give thanks to him; praise his name Within walking distance stands another building called the Round Tower (Rundetårn). On the outer wall 🔝 the divine name appears in large Hebrew letters as part of a sign in Latin.

Nice old church near the channel, a church where the current Danish queen was married. It's interesting that originally this building was built as an anchor forge, and only later changed to the church. Nice views of the church can be seen from the Holmensbro bridge.

Beautiful Church ( hidden gem, noone else there when we visited ). Stunning crypt at end of the main building ( just go through doors ). It was also so warm on a very cold Copenhagen day. Very welcome stop.

O local onde está situada esta igreja, era uma oficina de ferreiro, mas em 1619 o rei Christian IV ordenou a construção de uma igreja para a Marinha dinamarquesa. Tem a forma de cruz, com uma pequena torre de cobre, em estilo renascentista. A igreja está situada perto de uma das pontes que ligam Slotsholmen. A capela ao lado do canal é ricamente decorada. Esta igreja é uma das poucas que sobreviveu aos grandes incêndios da história de Copenhaga. Por isso, está muito bem preservada e permanece como foi originalmente projetada.

Beautiful church - came to pay homage to "Tordenskjold" by his tomb. Very close walk to other many historical sites worth visiting.
