The majestic building of the Church of Federica, or the Marble Church, is a single ensemble with the palace complex on Amalienborg Square. The church impresses with its size, especially inside. This is not surprising, because the dome of the Marble Church is the largest in Scandinavia. The interior decoration is simple, as in most Lutheran churches. The dark marble walls give the interior a stylish look. Very spacious inside, majestic, beautiful.
The construction of the church lasted as much as 150 years, and the reason for this was not natural disasters or deadly epidemics, but the usual bureaucracy and political upheavals. The construction of the temple, initiated in the middle of the 18th century by King Federico V, slowed down due to "lack of budgetary funds" after the death of the monarch. And at the time of the reforms, Struenze, who had been pursuing a tough policy of "belt tightening", which was still popular in Europe, completely stopped.
The church was completed at the end of the 19th century (1894), but not with public funds, but with private funds allocated by a large Danish industrialist and banker Karl Tietgen, the founder of many large Danish companies, including the Tuborg brewing company.
The Church of Federica is active, the entrance to it is free. Construction work is currently underway around the church; I hope they don't drag on for the next 150 years : )
