Church of the Virgin

The Church of the Most Holy Mother of God is often called Copenhagen Cathedral. It is located behind the main building of the University of Copenhagen, near the popular pedestrian street Streget. The church has been here since the beginning of the twelfth century, but was destroyed several times by two fires and aerial bombardments during the war.

The architect of the project was S.F. Hansen, who developed a grandiose project in neoclassical style with a colonnade and a luxurious pediment. The church turned out to be very spacious: the total length is 80 meters, the width is 33 meters, and the inner hall is a single room with a height of more than 25 meters, capable of accommodating almost 1,200 people at a time.

Near the Church of the Most Holy Mother of God there is a bell tower with four bells. The largest of them weighs about four tons and is the largest bell in the country. There is also the smallest bell, cast in 1490.
