Kjobenhavn originally H a fn or H avn is mentioned in hi­ story for the first time in the year 1043. On an island called „Tyvnaes“ (later Slotsholm) the bishop Absalon in the year 1167 built a fortified castle, S te jle b o r g , for protection against the Wendish pirates. This fort, the fishing village Hafn and 14 sur­ rounding villages and farms were in 1186 given by him to the episcopal See of lioskihle. In the year 1254 the bishop Jacob Erlandsen gave to the town, which was now called „K opm an ­ il afn “ (the merchants harbour) and had considerably increased in size, its first municipal code, *which in 1284 was confirmed by Erik Clipping. Valdemar Atterdag had the town conveyed to him by the episcopal See of Roskilde, which later on was obliged to relinquish it completely. Christopher of Baiern raised the town to be the capital of the country in 1443. A t an early date the town was fortified, but the fortification was of small importance and very far from being impregnable to conclude by the fact that Christopher of Baiern in his municipal code imposes a penalty on any one „who climbs the walls and palisades of the town, tears away or loosens boards and creeps under them in or out“ . On several occasions the town was conquered by enemies. In 1259 it was taken by the Wends, in 1306 it was harried by the Norwegians, who were however repelled. In 1362 it was destroyed by the Lubeckers and Holsteiners and in 1368 it was assaulted by the united enemies of King Valdemar. The next battle for the possession of the town was fought between a nu­ merous Hanseatic fleet and the heroic Filippa, the Queen of Erik of Pomerania, by whom the enemy was repulsed. From the 10th of June 1523 to the 6th of January 1524 the town was besieged by Frederik I, but the citizens, who where staunch adherers to Christian II, were compelled to surrender. Frederik I strengthened

12 the fortifications of the town, and 10 years later, when the citi­ zens had again adopted the cause of Christian II, it only opened its gates to the besieging army under Christian III, when driven to despair by famine. On the 28. Oct. 1536 a diet Avas held by which the protestant Faith was acknowledged as that of the Church of the State. From 1511—1654 the toAvn Avas infested Avith the plague no less than 19 times. In 1658 the Swedish King Carl Gustav laid siege to the town. The fall of the town Avould have involved the fall of the country, but the danger was averted by the undaunted King Frederik III, Avho declaring that he Avould „die in his nest*, per­ sonally led the heroic defence by the citizens. The general as­ sault, which Avas beaten oil' Avith great gallantry, took place in the night betAveen the 10. and 11. of February 1659 at the end of the present S torm gade close to Vandkunsten, in memory of Avhicli a bronze-plate and a basrelief of Frederik III have been placed in the wall of a building in Hestemallestrsede. In 1660 the oath of fealty Avas taken Avith great pomp. In 1711 about 22500 people Avere carried off by the plague. In 1728 an 1795 the toAvn was the scene of tAvo violent conflagrations, by Avhieh several quarters were devastated. In 1801 the renoAvned battle on the roads of Copenhagen Avas fought, and in 1807 the toAvn suffered a 3 days bombardment by the English, on which occa­ sion „Vor Frue Kirke" (Our Lady’s church) and 305 houses Avere burnt doAvn. In 1853 the cholera broke out and carried off 4700 of the inhabitants. In spite of all these inflictions the toAvn has gone on increa­ sing in size and importance. According to Pontoppidan the ap­ pearance of the toAvn in the 13th century Avas as folloAvs: „The houses Avere generally small, made of frameAvork partly with Avails of plaster and Avith thatched roofs while a brick-built house Avar, rarely to be found. Many streets Avere marked out by board and thorn fences more than by houses, and in the middle of the toAvn Avere large cabbage-gardens and orchards*. Under Chri­ stian the IV, Arho had a passion for building, Copenhagen as­ sumed a neAV and stately appearance. Under Frederik III a neAv quarter with Borgergade. Adelgade and Kongens Nytorv Avas built, and during the reign of Frederik V another quarter greAV up around Amahegade and Bredgade. The toAvn has, hoAvever, received its greatest extension during the last quarter of a cen­ tury after the removal of the Avails. Copenhagen is hoav fast be­ coming a large city, and in 1895 its population, including that of Frederiksberg and the suburbs amounted to 408,312. Ko n g e n s Ny t o r v (PI. G. 11) in the centre of the old city is a large irregular square of nearly 8 acres, and may be termed the heart of the toAvn, though not its real centre. In the middle of the square stands surrounded by

13 trees and flowers an equestrian statue of King Christian V modelled by the French sculptor L’Amoureux and erected in 1688. The socle is adorned by allegoric figures. The little decorative monument is popularly called »IIesten«. On the corner of Oslergade is Hot el d ' An g l e t e r r e (No. 34); next to that »Hovedvagtsuret«, deriving its name from its tower-clock, then No.’s 26 and 28, the property of »Store nordiske Telegrafselskab* (between Ny Adelgade and Gothersgade), adorned on the top with »Electra« by Ste­ phan Sinding. On the North side of the square stands »Marmorhuset«, built by the Standard Life Insurance Com­ pany. At the corner of Bredgade stands Thotts Palais, built by Niels Juel. On the eastern side (by Nyhavn, the common name for that branch of the harbour extending up to the centre of the city and for the streets on both sides of it) stands C h a r l o t t c n b o r g , erected by Ulrik Fredei’ik Gyldenlove. The palace is built of stones from Kalo in Jutland. In 1700 it was sold by Gyldenlove to Charlotte Amalie, from whom it takes its name. For a short time only it was the residence of Royalty; later it has been the home of a number of institutions; now it is a school of art and the seat of the Royal Academy (the library of the academy see newspapers). From Kongens Nytorv or Nyhavn a gate leads to the newly built Ku n s t u d sti l l i n g s b y g n i n g (art exhibition building). On the ground floor the collection of castings (admission see newspapers) to the right those from the antique, to the left those from the renaissance (catalogue at entrance). The collections may especially be recom­ mended to such as have had no opportunity of seing collections of this kind elsewhere. On the first floor the annual spring exhibition is held. In the south-east part ot Kongens Nytorv stands the R o y a l T h e a t r e , erected on the.site of the old Theatre Royal in 1872— 74 from drawings by Prof.'s Dahlerup and Ove Petersen, and opened on the 15. Oct. 1874. At the main-entrance are statues of Holberg (modelled by Stein) and Oehlenschliiger (modelled by H. V. Bissen), over the

14 main facade as frontispiece a huge bronze group: Apollo and the Muses and Pegasus at the fountain of Castalia. In the hall are the marble statues of Ewalcl and Wessel (both modelled by Peters). In the Foyer of the audience, which is richly and tastefully decorated, are a number of interesting marble statues of famous Danish dramatists, composers, actors and actresses; a very fantastic Basrelief: „Ophelia“ , modelled and presented by Sarah Bernhard — and in a side cabinet the beauti­ ful statue by Bissen of our greatest actress the late Johanne Louise Heiberg. Also the auditory is richly decorated, especially the ceiling with the nine Muses, the proscenium with the old motto „Ej blot til Lyst“ (,,not for amusement only1) and the characteristic drop-scene: winged Genii drawing aside a curtain and thereby opening a view to the classic banks of Kefissos, the grove of Academos and in the background Akropolis (painted by Professor Aagaard). The Theatre has seats for 1700 spectators. This our National scene the season of which is from the 1. Sept.—1. June, has on the running repertory: Comedy, Opera and Ballet, a line of art, which ennobled anil fashioned by the genius and dramatic taste of August Bournonville, has given the impulse to higher things than divertissements and spectacular pieces. The ballet fiction of Bournonville has inspired composers such as J. P. E. Hartmann and N. W. Gade with the most beauti­ ful tone poems comprising dramatic representations from the hi­ story of the North (Valkyrien, Valdemar, Thrymskviden) and the life of the people in the South (Napoli, Toreadoren and many others). On the opposite side of the square (facing the wing of the Royal Theatre) stands the grand building of Maga- sin du Nord adjoining No. 11, Eriksens Palais, with a beautiful colonnade built by Ilarsdorff. The Palais is now occupied by the »Ilandelsbank« and »So- og Handelsrel- ten« i. e. (The maritime and mercantile court). Further on by Holmens Kanal is the Statue of Ni el s Juel (by Stein), erected on the triangular piece of ground where Holmens Kanal, Niels Juelsgade and Holbergsgade meet (PI. a G. H. 11). The corner of Holbergsgade and Holmens Kanal is occupied by the building of the Stu­ dents Association, formerly »Slavekirken« (which belonged to IIolmen, the navy, and was used as chart archive and model room). Opposite the statue stands the beautiful old red property of Landmandsbanken (No. 12) built by

Harsdorff, addition by Professor Storcli, and behind the statue the Hotel King of Denmark (PI. c. H. 11). The two streets Niels Juelsgade and Holbergsgade both lead into a comparatively new quarter, which was founded in 1861 on the so called Gammelholm or Bremerholm, a section surrounded by a canal, that ran along the building of the Students Association and the Facade of the Royal Theatre. Here were formerly the stores and wharfs of the navy, but these were in 1861— 66 removed to Nyholm, their present location. It was also on the said holm, that criminals were put in the notorious ^Bremerholm Irons«, which punishment by Royal Decree of 1739 was changed into hard labour, and in 1741 the prisoners were confined in »Stokhuset« (house of correction) by 0sterbro. Thence you proceed along the tram line past the stately building in Renaissance style of the Nationalbank (built by Ilerholdt) to Holmens Kirke (church), originally an anchor smithy, which was transformed into a church by Christian the IV for the use of the navy and renovated in 1872. Over the front gate is the monogram of the Royal architect, the year 1641 and the letters R. FT P., which signify the motto of Chr. IV : Regnum Firmat Pielas (piety strengthens the kingdom) but according to popular humour: Riget Fattes Penge or The Kingdom is in need of money. The adjoining mortuary, which is erected along the canal on a foundation of hewn stones, is deserving of attention (ad­ mission see newspapers). Here rests N iels Ju e l, over whose richly guilt copper cof­ fin is a marble relief with his bust and some lines of verse by Thomas Kingo. Also P ed er T o r d e n s k jo ld is deposited hero in a black marble coffin, bearing the unostentatious, but significant inscription of: D yn ek ilen — M arstrand — E lfs b o r g , the expenses having been defrayed by King Frederik IY. The body of Tordenskjold is embalmed, and as late as the commencement of this century the coffin was open, and people were allowed to view the legendary hero. In the chapel is now also the coffin of N. W . Gade. A small, rather handsome bronze-statue of Tordenskjold stands in the inner yard behind a richly adorned ironfence facing Holmens Bro (bridge). The statue is modelled by Bissen.

16 Holmens Bro leads to Slotsholmen (PI. H. 10). From the bridge a splendid view opens out across the harbour to »Vor Frelser« (our Saviour’s) church on Christianshavn with its slender gilded tower, and Borsen (the exchange) with its splendid gables and elegant dragon-spire. The ornament of Slotsholmen was the once so mag­ nificent Christiansborg, which is now, since the great fire in L884, a gaping ruin. The foundation stone of the ori­ ginal Christiansborg, named by the builder, King Christian VI, was laid in 1733 on the site of the old »Kjoben- havns Slot« which had been levelled with the ground mostly at the instigation of the Queen Sophie Magdalene, who had a passion for pomp and building. It was partly destroyed by a fire in 1794. By using the re­ maining walls a new though far inferior Christiansborg was erected (finished from design by C. F. Hansen in 1828). The main facade with the portal gale (Kongeporten) which is still standing was ornamented with four colossal bronze statues, which were removed immediately after the fire and placed on the palace square. They are allegoric figures representing Strength (Herkules) by T h o r v a l d s e n , Wisdom (Minerva), Justice (Nemesis) and Health (Esculapius) by B i s s o n from design by Thorvaldsen. In front of the main portal in the middle of the square stands an eque­ strian statue of King Frederik VII (inaugurated in 1873, modelled by Bissen). In the wings are the R o y a l stables, the R oy a l manege, the coach house and h arness room. In the coach house (admission on application to Mr. Pederstrup official in charge; the gates are open greater part of the day) are many beautiful old and new carriages; in the harness room a valuable collection of harness from the time of the absolutism. Closely connected with the palace is Slotskirken (the pa­ lace chapel) with front to the square with its elegant Jonian portico and its beautiful green oxidized dome. To the left of the palace facade opposite Ho l me n s c h u r c h stands B o r s e n (the Exchange) (Admittance see newspaper). A walk round the 202 feet long building is highly interesting.

17 The beautiful Netherlands Renaissance Facade presents a number of interesting items, and especially the two gable ends are deserving of attention. The exchange was erected 1622— 1624 by Christian IV, who more than anybody else has contributed to the embellishment of Copenhagen. In 1855 the exchange was transferred to the chamber of com­ merce of the city. B orssalen (the exchange-hall) has been restored and orna­ mented with a bronzed zinc casting by Thorvaldsen representing „Christian IV invites a visit1. In the building are numerous of­ fices, telegraph station etc. Opposite the exchange stands the Mi n i s t e r i a l bu i l ­ d i n g s which were erected during the reign of F r e d e r i k IV. Some of the responsible ministers of the King have their offices in these buildings. The F o r e i g n O f f i c e is in one of the palaces of Amalienborg. To the right of the Facade of these buildings is a lofty gate called Zahl k a mme r p o r t e n (PI. d. H. 10) which forms the entrance of one of the side courts of Christians- borg which is called the Z a h l k a mme r court . Further on at the opposite end of this court a second gateway leads to a narrow passage, where the great Royal library is situated. (PI. f. H. 10) (see newspapers). The library was founded by Frederik III and com­ prises about 560,000 volumes of which 20,000 manu­ scripts. Anybody can borrow books from this library, provided a householder is willing to stand security. At another corner a gateway (PI. e. H. 10) leads into the premises of the arsenal. To the left is the old store­ house where Griffenfeldt was imprisoned until he was re­ moved to the citadel. The barge which took him there is believed to have landed somewhere in an old basin, which in those days occupied the present courtyard, and was used by Christian IV as a harbour for ships, that had to be secretly rigged and fitted out. From here a gateway leads to the right to the arsenal (admission see newspapers). Its considerable collection of arms comprises among other things a number of conquered standards and trophies. 2

18 From the palace court with its archways and two fine port pavilions and across the marble bridge you arrive at P r i n d s e n s Palse (PI. 1. H. 9). This palace is facing the Frederiksholms Kanal between Ny Vesterg. and Storm- gade. The old building, which was inhabited by two Da­ nish Kings Christian VI and Frederik V before they as­ cended the throne, now shelters our Na t i o n a l Mu s e um (admittance see newspaper) which is the most interesting and remarkable of all the collections of Copenhagen. A catalogue is not absolutely necessary as explanations of the objects are posted up in the rooms. The D an ish d iv ision , which has formed the basis of a new science viz: „The Prehistoric Archaeology" which from Denmark lias spread to other countries and given the impulse to the estab­ lishment of similar museums, was founded by R. N yerup at the commencement of this century from an exceedingly scanty material; as the greater part of the few antiquities which had then been found, were kept in the art-gallery of Frederik III. From 1816 —1865 the collection was greatly enlarged by C. J. Thomsen. The P alaeolith ic A ge, Rooms I—II. The N e o lith ic Age, rooms II—III. The an cien t and re ce n t b ron ze age. Room IV. Note a carriage from the ante-Roman iron age found in Dejlbjerg bog. The an te-R om an and Rom an Iron A g e. The old*) „Luror“ (concert St. Johns day). Room V—VI. Cabinet 225, contains amongst other things a splendid silver vessel with representations of sacrificial scenes, bull fights and processions of warriors (found in Gundestrup moss). Th e tim e o f the m igra­ tion o f nation s. Rooms V II—VIII. Amongst other things there are copies of the golden horns, which in 1802 were stolen from the art-gallery and melted down.

Thom sen with the view of giving an account of people outside of European culture, unique in its kind. No. 6. Amongst others a tortoise shell mask from the islands in Torres Straits. 7—9: Dancing-masks, and masks made of human heads. 25—27: Cups of Hemp and a tattooed human head. 31: A Dress, which is said to have belonged to the Queen Pomare. 64—100: Green­ landers (85: a Kayak. 90: a Summer tent). 101: Indians. 174 —243: Africa. 216—229: A valuable collection from the old Da- *) Lurer, Horns used in olden days to warn the garrison of the approach of the enemy.

19 nisli colonies, carved Ivory horns etc. 250: Asia, noteworthy is a rich collection from Japan (276: 2 Human heads ornamented with inlaying and painting, and preserved as trophies of killed enemies). The c o lle c tio n o f A n tiq u itie s comprises a great selection of articles which may be said to enable us to get a cohesive pic­ ture of the culture of the classic Antiquity. The R o y a l Coin- and M e d a l-c o lle c tio n encompasses all ages and countries and contains about 125,000 coins, medals and castings. The surrounding quarter is one of the finest in the city. Along the canal as well as the adjoining streets are many fine old houses, which were huilt in the period, when the court was at Christiansborg. We proceed along the street to the left skirling the canal, in which pleasure boats are mored. To the left Stormgade (The school museum [No. 17] admittance see newspaper). To the right St o rm- b r o e n (bridge) (cars, to the left for Tivoli, to the right for Kongens Nytorv). From this place a fine view can be taken of the marble-bridge, the port-pavillions with their battlements in renaissance style, and a little farther away the red tiled roof of the arsenal, the fair way of the har­ bour and in the background the- green wooded walls of Christianshavn. In front of Stormbrocn stands T h o r v a l d ­ s ens Mu s e um (PI. II. 10) (admittance, see newspaper). On the way to the museum on the opposite side of the canal, there are a -number of old characteristic houses, amongst which the As s i s t e n t s h u s , the authorized go­ vernment loan-oflice, established in 1688. Nearly all of these houses date from the time about the year 1730. In 1728 the whole of this quarter was burnt down. To the right the manege of Christiansborg. T h o r w a l d s e n s Mu s e um (architect: Bindesboll) is built in antique mausolean style on a site belohging to Christiansborg a donation by Frederik VI for that pur­ pose. The museum commands respect in a double sense, enclosing as it does not only the ‘works of art, bestowed by Thorvaldsen on his native city but also his earthly remains; even the building itself is a work of art made as it is from a coach house, which occupied the ground.

20 The walls which are decorated al fresco in Pompejan style have hut badly withstood the influence of the climate; the picture frieze (painted by Jorgen Sonne) on the wall towards the canal gives a lively representation of the lan­ ding at Toldboden (the customs) of Thorvaldsen on the 17. Sept. 1838, when he was received in great state after an absence in Rome of 18 years. Also the transport of his works from the Frigate »Rola« to the museum is re­ presented in the frieze. In the centre of the museum yard is the sculptor's humble grave entwined by ivy. The coffin is deposited in a subterranean vault which, singularly enough, was finished only a fevr days before the death of the great master. Bertel (or as he was called in Rome Alberto) Thorvaldsen was born in Gronnegade No. 7 on the 19. Novbr. 1770 and died suddenly on the 24. March 1844 in the Royal Theatre while listening to the overture to »Griscldis«. The antique decoration in colours and stucco of all ceilings and arches in the interior of the museum have been executed with such exquisite artistic laste, that Thorvaldsen at the first sight exclaimed in asto­ nishment: »Oh but this will be Bindesbols (the archi­ tects) museum and not mine.« Catalogue (at entrance) 45 0re.
