Kastelskirken
The Kastelskirken (Eng. Church of the Fort ) the church of the Frederikshavn Citadel in Copenhagen . The church, built in 1703/04, belongs to the fort parish in the Holmens Provsti in the diocese of Copenhagen .
The church, consecrated on November 26, 1704, was initially the church of the fortress of Copenhagen . Since 1902 this has been used as a parish church by the surrounding settlements. It is built in the baroque style, but kept exceptionally simple for this era. There are hardly any decorations to be found inside the church. Its white color and fourteen high windows give it a bright and friendly impression.
The baroque style is still clearly visible on the altar. It consists of three oil paintings, which are placed one above the other and framed by gilded ornaments. Like the pulpit, it dates back to the original time of the church. The facade of the baroque organ is still preserved, but the organ has been renewed several times. The current organ was delivered in 1969 by the Andersen organ builder and has 25 registers , divided into two manuals and a pedal .
