Christianshavn Christianshavn (Christan's harbour) is a nice, picturesque district, situated southeast opposite the city center from the harbour. Here you find historic buildings in typical Danish style as well as numerous charming canals. This is where you can find the world famous freetown Christiania with its bohemic, drug glorifying lifestyle and its wooden houses. I have no pictures of Christiania though, the inhabitans don't like touritsts to take photos there.

Vor Frelsers KirkeVor Frelsers Kirke (Church of Our Saviour) is the most famous landmark in Christianshavn. It is 89 m high and was completed in 1696. It is very cool with its spiral roof. At the Skyscrapercity meeting in summer 2006 I climbed the stairs to the top of this building together with the young fellows of the forum. I also climbed the church in 2014. The skyline views from the top of the church can be seen in the skyline section. |
