The church Vor Frue Kirke (Danish for Church of Our Lady), is the cathedral of Copenhagen, built in Neoclassical style 1817-1829. It wasn't a cathedral back when it was built (hence that it's not in the name, I suppose), but only since the foundation of the Diocese of Copenhagen in 1922. This church is the fourth one on this spot since the founding of the first one some time not long before 1187 - all these predecessors were destroyed by fire (in 1313, 1728 and 1807 - the third and last time was in the Battle of Copenhagen when British troops bombarded the city).
