Copenhagen - Marble Church

 
Bredgade leads northwards from the upper end of Nyhavn to the Marble Church, the building of which began in 1749 but was not completed until 1894. It is also known as Frederik's Church, because it was intended to be the main church in the Frederiksstad district of Copenhagen. Features of the interior include an ivory Crucifix, an oak carving of the Descent from the Cross and Grundtvig's seven-branched golden candelabrum.

The church has a dome 84m/275ft high and the facade is decorated with statues of great figures in ecclesiastical history, including St Ansgar, the Apostle of the North, and the religious reformer Grundtvig.
