Frederik's Church in Copenhagen, popularly known as the Marble Church, is crowned by one of the largest church domes in Scandinavia and stands on the axis of the nearby royal palaces. Begun in the eighteenth century, its construction stalled for over a century before being completed with a striking green copper dome and a ring of statues of religious figures. The vast circular interior beneath the coffered dome creates a powerful sense of space. Guided climbs to the dome's exterior gallery offer sweeping views over the city and harbour.
