Christian's Church is an odd one. It's a German church in the area of Christianshavn in Copenhagen. It was built in 1759 by the German community in Christianshavn and was named Frederik's German Church, but it was renamed Christian's Church after King Christian IV in 1901. It's now an ordinary parish church for the area and no longer serve as a German church. Locally it's called the Theater Church due to its many galleries inside. It's surronded by modern Ministries and old warehouses converted to residences, hence the title of this post.
So told, sooner or later, you have to show us these galleries... Excellent image, fine contrast of old and new.
ReplyDeleteCount me in, VP.
ReplyDeleteI now know your favorite angle of taking photos. Yes, it's the best way to show the whole feature of a subject.
Another to-do-thing; visit the church with a camera and between services. The last time I went there, about two weeks ago, there was a wedding i progress, and the time before that it was closed. Maybe I should choose a different time to roam the streets?
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective...I'm assuming that this is a Lutheran church?

ReplyDeleteI love the way you have drawn the viewer into this picture.
ReplyDeleteOne of our clients occupy the buildings forming the alley. It's really a new experience every time you walk from the Metro or come by cab.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally the buildings next to the church are some of the oldest in Copenhagen. The interiors in the renovated buildings are also fascinating - and done with great skill and care.
