Church of Our Lady

The Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke) is the cathedral of Copenhagen and the National Cathedral of Denmark. The present day version of the church was designed by the architect Christian Frederik Hansen in the neoclassical style and was completed in 1829.

There has been several several churches on this site since 1209. The cathedral has been rebuilt four times: The first church was burnt down and reconstructed in 1316. The second church was razed by a great fire in 1728 together with five other churches in Copenhagen and rebuilt in 1738. Finally during the bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807 the spire was hit by a Congreve rocket and nearly burnt the church down to the ground.
