The church is seen from Am agerto rv w ith V alkendorfs- gade in the background. A fter the Reform ation the church, w h ich origin ally constituted the southern w in g o f the m edieval H elligånds hospital (the hospital o f the H oly G host), w as turned into an ordinary parish church. A t the end of the 16th century it w as provided w ith tow er and spire, but the latter fell down during the fire in 1728, and the remainder o f the church w as also greatly damaged. J. C. K rieger w as in charge of the reconstruction in 173 2 ; he had the three naves united under the same roof and placed a "so-called Italian H a t" on top of the tower. 18 7 8 - 80 H. Storck reconstructed the origin al spire after the view s cat. nos. 3 and 10. 88 ST. N ICO L A I CHURCH c. 176 4 It is n ot kn ow n w hen the first church of St. N icolai was built, but in all probability it w as sometime at the begin­ n ing of the 13th century when it served as a m erchants' church. The church in this engravin g is the result of se­ veral periods of building. A b o u t 1500 the nave itself was complete, but on ly w ith a simple ridge turret (see cat. no. 1), and n ot until the end o f the century w as the tower erected. The spire w as added in 16 10 , and as mentioned (cat. no. 4) it collapsed in 1628 and was not renewed until 16 6 4 -6 9 after draw ings b y A lbert M atthiesen. Then the church stood unaltered until the fire 1795. 89 THE REFORMED CHURCH 1762 The church p olicy o f Louis X IV , in 1685 resulting in the annulm ent of the Edict of Nantes, sent a flow of religious refugees all over Europe. Since Charlotte Am alie, K ing Christian V 's queen, furtherm ore belonged to the C alvin i- stic creed, there were thus several urges to have a Re­ form ed church built in the capital. There w as lots of room in N ew Copenhagen, where the congregation got a piece of land betw een Gothersgade and Åbenrå. Here the Re­

The Copenhagen G arrison had long w anted to have their ow n church, and in 16 9 7 th ey succeeded in procuring the necessary am ount o f m on ey and a site in Dronningens T væ rgade. H ow ever, the m atter w as put o ff till 1703 when the foundation stone w as laid, and the building acti­ v ity began at St. A n næ Street, later St. A n næ Square. The draw ings for the church w ere b y G. P. M uller (see cat. no. 9 1), but the bu ildin g w as in 170 4 delegated to von Platen, the chief master builder. He expanded and improved the earlier plans. The spire w h ich the church has now is from 1885 and differs sligh tly from the one depicted here. Of­ ficia lly the name of the church is D en Herre Zebaoth's Church, but that never cau ght on. O n the left one can just make out a couple of houses in Lille Strandstræde. KA STELSK IRKEN c. 176 4 In place o f a sm all, rather ram shackle church at the Cita­ del, the present church w as bu ilt 170 3 -0 4 . It was placed at the western end o f the parade square and thus this was shut o ff from the ramparts. Then the entrance was in the m iddle ressaut decorated w ith pilasters w hile now the en­ trance is at the northern end of the church. It was G. P. M üller, one o f the officers o f the departm ent of fortifica­ tion, w ho supplied draw ings for the church, very similar to his contem porary sketches for the Garrison Church (16 9 6 -9 7). The symm etrical projecting parts behind the facade belong to the prison, added to the west wing in 172 5. A t the same tim e as E. D . H ausser constructed this building he shut o ff the east side o f the parade square with 91
