Holmen Church, Lutheran church in central Copenhagen, Denmark
The Church of Holmen features yellow brick construction with granite foundations and stands near Holmens Kanal in central Copenhagen.
Originally built as an anchor forge in 1563, the structure was transformed into a naval church by King Christian IV and consecrated in 1619.
The interior contains the sarcophagi of Danish naval commanders Tordenskjold and Niels Juel, along with artworks by Bertel Thorvaldsen and Karel van Mander.
The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and conducts Lutheran services, with access available through Copenhagen's public transportation system.
A model of the naval ship Christianus Quintus, which served as Niels Juel's flagship, hangs from the church ceiling as a testament to maritime heritage.
