Why Frederik's Church (Marble Church) matters

Known as the Marble Church, Frederik's Church is easy to spot from across the old town thanks to its large green dome. It stands just behind the royal palaces at Amalienborg, forming an eye-catching line of sight from the square. You can step inside to see the painted dome, and at certain times you can climb up to a viewing gallery.

Talking points

  • Its green copper dome is a landmark on the city skyline.
  • It frames the view straight from the Amalienborg square.
  • In season you can climb to a gallery around the dome.
