Citadel Church, Baroque church in Kastellet fortress, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Citadel Church features white and pearl grey interior walls, complemented by gilded details and three large oil paintings within carved wooden frames.
Built between 1703 and 1704 under King Frederik IV's reign, architect Georg Philip Müller designed this garrison church within the pentagon-shaped military fortress.
The church serves dual roles by conducting religious services for both military personnel and civil parish members of the Copenhagen Diocese since 1902.
Located at Kastellet 50 in Copenhagen, the church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors throughout the week for guided explorations.
The church building contains special sound holes in its structure that allowed imprisoned inmates to hear religious services from the adjacent 1725 prison complex.
