Christian's Church, Rococo church in Christianshavn, Denmark.

The rectangular Christian's Church features yellow brick walls with sandstone finishes, rising 70 meters high with galleries arranged in three tiers inside.

Built between 1754 and 1759 by architect Nicolai Eigtved, this church initially served the German community of Christianshavn under the name Frederiks German Church.

The interior layout resembles a theater with tiered seating focused on a central altar, making it suitable for concerts and religious ceremonies.

The church maintains regular Sunday services at 2 PM in English, welcoming both local residents and international visitors to its congregation.

The underground crypt contains 48 burial chapels that have been in continuous use since 1759, including the tomb of Danish historian Peter Frederik Suhm.
