Church of the Holy Ghost, Gothic church in central Copenhagen, Denmark

The Church of the Holy Ghost features high pointed arch windows, exposed brick facades, and a distinctive three-nave hall church design.

Founded in 1400, the church transformed from a monastery to a Lutheran institution in 1530 during the Protestant Reformation period.

The church maintains Danish religious traditions through ceremonies including baptisms, confirmations for seventh and eighth-grade students, and marriage services.

Located on Strøget shopping street, the church provides religious services in a building reconstructed by Johan Cornelius Krieger after the 1728 fire.

The altar from 1727, created by Didrick Gercken and Just Wiedewelt, displays a transferred painting of the Ascension from Copenhagen Castle.
