Holmens Kirke. (Holmens Kanal ved Holmens Bro). (111. Side 24).

T h e c h u r c h was erected by Christian IV in 1619 by the conversion or rebuilding of an old anchor smithy, and in 1641 it was extended by the addition of the two transepts, to its present dimen­ sions. In the choir garden between the transepts, out towards Holmens Canal is a bronze statue of the naval hero Tordenskjold (by V. Bissen). The garden is fenced off from the street by a richly ornamented wrought iron railing. The i n t e r i o r of the church is very interest- ing. During the numerous oonflagrations which have ravaged Copenhagen from time to time the church has been spared and this accounts for the preservation of the magnificent old furniture etc. The altar and pu lpit are by the master Abel Schroeder of Koge; splendid gold and silver ern- broidered altar curtain dating from 1692; many excellent epitaphs with pictures painted by W u c - ters, Karel van Mander and otliers. In a large mor- tuary cliapel (built 1705) lie the remains øf several famous men, amongst otliers the naval heroes Niels Juel and Peder Tordenskjold in magnificent sar- copliagi.

T h e c h u r c li was built to the plans of Lam­ bert van der Haven in 1682—93, but was only completed 100 years later. The remarkable spire was added in 1742—50 (architect L. de Thura). There is an outer spiral stairway winding round the spire right up to the ball supporting the large figure of the Saviour w ith the banner of victory. The ascent is easy ancl w ithou t danger, the stair- case being protected with an iron balustrade. At the foot of the tower there are four large seated figures representing the evangelists. The tower contains an enormous clockwork dating from 1699. T h e i n t e r i o r of the church is handsomely decorated. The altar has been executed by several artists from the model of the famous Swedish a r­ chitect Nicodemus Tessin (1695). The richly carved organ by Christian Nerger (1698).
