The Church of Our Saviour, or Vor Frelsers Kirke in Danish, is one of the most famous churches in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was built in the 17th century during the reign of King Christian V, with construction beginning in 1682 and completed in 1695. The church is known for its unique helix spire with an external winding staircase that can be climbed by visitors, offering a panoramic view of central Copenhagen. The spire was designed by Lauritz de Thurah and was added to the church almost 50 years after its completion, in 1749. The gilded exterior of the spire is adorned with four figures of the four evangelists, and a statue of Christ Triumphant at the top, which was sculpted by Matthias Braun. The architectural style of the church is Baroque, and it's known for its ornate interior. The wooden carved altar, known as the 'Altarpiece of Flensburg', is a masterpiece by Nicodemus Tessin and showcases scenes from the life of Jesus. The church's organ, dating back to 1698, is a work of art in itself, with beautifully carved wooden figures of Biblical characters. The Church of Our Saviour holds a significant place in Danish history. It has been visited by several notable personalities, including Søren Kierkegaard, the famous Danish philosopher, who was a regular parishioner. The church also features in Danish literature, most notably in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy-tale ‘The Tinderbox’, where the soldier climbs the spire. With its rich history and architectural grandeur, the Church of Our Saviour is an integral part of Copenhagen's cultural heritage. It attracts visitors from all over the world, who are intrigued by its exterior beauty and the intricate details of its interior design. The church is not only a place of worship but also a testament to Denmark's artistic and historical legacy.
