Different views of the Marble Church in Copenhagen.
The Marble Church, also known as Frederiks Kirke (Frederiks Church), is one of Copenhagen's most iconic landmarks. Located in the Frederiksstaden district, this Evangelical Lutheran church is famous for its majestic light green dome, inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Construction of the Marble Church began in 1749 under the direction of architect Nicolai Eigtved, but was only completed in 1894 with funding from Carl Frederik Tietgen. The church is mainly built of Norwegian marble, with some parts made of limestone.
The Marble Church offers several fascinating perspectives. From the outside, its imposing dome, supported by 12 columns, dominates the cityscape. The view from the square in front, with Amalienborg Palace in the background, is particularly impressive. The dome, visible from various points in the city, creates a fascinating contrast to the surrounding buildings.
Inside, the Marble Church is equally impressive. The central nave, with its paintings and stained glass, leads to the dome, which is breathtaking from the inside. The altar and frescoes add a touch of solemnity and artistic beauty.
One of the most memorable experiences is climbing the dome of the Marble Church. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Copenhagen, including the smaller islands and the city's main monuments. The dome climb is available on weekends and offers a unique opportunity to admire the city from above.
The Marble Church is open to the public every day, with varying opening hours for the dome. Entry to the church is free, while there is a small fee to climb the dome. The church is easily accessible by public transport, including bus and metro.
