Copenhagen - Holmen's Church

(Local Name: Holmens Kirke) The 17th century Holmen Church (Holmens Kirke) in central Copenhagen was intended as a church for seamen. The "Royal Doorway" was brought here from Roskilde Cathedral in the 19th century. Fine features of the interior are a Baroque altar of unpainted oak and a carved pulpit by Abel Schroder the Younger, both dating from around 1660. In a side chapel can be seen various tombs including that of the naval hero Niels Juel (d. 1697).

The style is predominantly Dutch renaissance. The ruler Queen Margrethe II was married here in 1967.
