St. Ansgar's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in central Copenhagen, Denmark
Saint Ansgar's Cathedral features a neoclassical design with brick construction and displays the architectural elements of a Roman basilica on Bredgade street.
The cathedral, completed in 1842 by architect Gustav Friedrich Hetsch, replaced an earlier chapel that served foreign legations during the Protestant reformation period.
The cathedral functions as the main church for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Copenhagen, overseeing religious activities across Denmark, Faroe Islands, and Greenland.
Visitors can attend daily services throughout the year, with special sung ceremonies during Sunday Mass and religious celebrations.
The cathedral houses an ancient skull, previously thought to belong to Pope Lucius, but scientific dating revealed it originated from 340-431 AD.
