We visited Frederik’s Church, also known as The Marble Church, while in Copenhagen for the day on a cruise — and it ended up being one of our favorite sights of the trip.
The church is absolutely stunning, both inside and out. The architecture is a breathtaking example of rococo design, with the massive dome as its centerpiece. It’s hard to miss — the dome dominates the skyline and adds a lot of character to the surrounding area. The interior is equally impressive, with beautifully detailed columns, soft natural light, and a peaceful, reverent atmosphere that invites you to slow down and take it all in.
What’s even better is that entry is completely free, so if you’re nearby, it’s absolutely worth stepping inside for a few moments of quiet and a look at the incredible craftsmanship.
If you’re visiting on a weekend, I highly recommend planning to climb the dome. The guided tour takes place at 13:00 sharp, and tickets (35 DKK) are sold at the entrance. Unfortunately, we didn’t time our visit right and missed the tour, but it’s definitely on our list for next time — the views from the top are said to be incredible.
Whether you’re in Copenhagen for a few hours or a few days, Frederik’s Church is a must-see, especially if you appreciate architecture, history, or just need a peaceful moment in the middle of your sightseeing.
