Very simple design.

This is in a very popular area of Copenhagen and I think is a must see particularly to enjoy the views from the tower. It is one of Copenhagen’s oldest churches and goes back to approximately the 13th century. It was initially a Franciscan monastery intended as a house for the pool as well. As with most things this went through many reconstructions especially after fires. We loved the tower which apparently began construction in about 1520. It’s a nice climb and gives the reward of splendid views.

Helligandskirken és actualment una església luterana molt bonica, que en el seu moment va formar part del monestir de l'Esperit Sant, construït al segle XV. L'esglesia ha viscut diverses reconstruccions posteriors, a principis del segle XVII s'hi va afegir una portalada renaixentista. S'hi fan també concerts de música de cambra i cantades de corals. En l'espai entorn de l'església hi acostuma molta vida, amb llocs de venda de llibres.
