The Church of Our Saviour (vor frelser kirke) was completed in 1696 and the tower 56 years later in 1752. The outside of the tower has a spiral staircase with 400 steps which you can climb all the way to the top. 

At the top of the tower is a three-meter tall, golden figure of Christ. Christ is holding a victory flag which symbolizes the final victory of Christianity in Europe in the 17th century.

During the Second World War, the Danish Resistance Movement used the tower as a hiding spot for weapons and explosives, which was never discovered by the Germans. 

To climb the tower you have to book a time-slot through billetto.dk

Opening hours:

Opening hours are daily from 9am to 8pm.

Entrance is €9 and free with the Copenhagen Card.
