Church of Holmen in Copenhagen
About
The Church Of Holmen, a venerable landmark in Copenhagen, stands proudly as one of the oldest churches in the city. Designed by Leonhard Blasius and opened in 1563, it was initially built for King Christian IV and affectionately known as the Sea Church, thanks to its picturesque location by the canal. The church boasts a serene ambiance, enriched by wooden furniture and framed religious pictures. Inside, visitors can admire the exquisite wooden pulpit, an intricate and ornate pipe organ, and fabulous paintings that captivate the eye. A unique detail is a model boat suspended from the ceiling, echoing its nautical heritage. This historical site also bears significance as it hosted the royal wedding of Queen Margarethe. With free entry, the Church Of Holmen regularly attracts locals and tourists alike, receiving high praise with a 4.6 Google rating. Occasionally graced by the presence of the Queen, this church offers a peaceful retreat amidst the city's hustle and bustle.
