Marmorkirken
Marble Church
Religious Sites,
Sankt Annae Kvarter
Fodor's Review:
Officially the Frederikskirke, this ponderous baroque sanctuary of precious Norwegian marble was begun in 1749 and remained unfinished from 1770 to 1874 due to budget constraints. It was finally completed and consecrated in 1894. Around the exterior are 16 statues of various religious leaders from Moses to Luther, and below them stand sculptures of outstanding Danish ministers and bishops. The hardy can scale 273 steps to the outdoor balcony. From here you can walk past the exotic gilded onion domes of the Russiske Ortodoks Kirke (Russian Orthodox Church), just to the north of the Marmorkirken.
