Compared to a church I visited yesterday, this one impresses by a lack of ornamentation. Apart from the tower, it's just under two hundred years old and was the site for Hans Christian Andersen's funeral, attended by the monarch. More

The simplicity of this church is the main attraction, along with the beautiful, peaceful Christ statue and the wonderful marble statues around the sides. More

Visited the Church of Our Lady as part of the Copenhagen Grand (Bus) Tour and loved it. Being an Australian, it was interesting to see where "our" Princess married the Danish Prince. Found it very impressive More

Absolutely beautiful statue of Christ without the typically ornate and noisy distractions. This setting is stunning in its simplicity and I could see the visitors visibly touched by the spirit of this masterpiece. The church is open without admission and is a beautiful way to spend some time in contemplation at the feet of this statue. The statues of the... More

Worth a quick look inside if you are passing. It is a plain cathedral when compared with some of the others in European cities. The Crown Prince and Princess were married here. It has free wi-fi, which seems a little odd but could be useful! More

We've made it here on a rainy day with our tour of the ciy. Statues are great & we were here during the rehersal. So we also got to listen to the church's organ. Stop by, if it's on your way & you have time. More

I think this is one of the most beautiful church that I've ever seen. We were strolling around Stroget and decided to come and stop by and see the church. It was so quaint and beautiful and we just sat here for an hour.. I felt so relaxed and just looked around and admired the beautiful statues and architecture. There... More
