The Church of Our Saviour, Vor Frelsers Kirke. Dutch Baroque style church with helix spire and external winding staircase in Christianshavn, Copenhagen, Denmark It has the largest Carillon In Northern Europe A temporary church was inaugurated on the site in 1639 but construction of the present Church of Our Saviour by architect, Lambert van Haven, did not start until 1682. This church was inaugurated in 1695 but the church did not have a spire and had a temporary altar. The permanent altar was installed in 1732. The spire was planned in 1747 under the reign of Frederik V and the new architect on the project was Lauritz de Thurah. He abandoned the original design and used his own plans to complete the spire. Three years later the spire was finished and the King climbed the tower at a ceremony on 28 August 1752. The corkscrew black & gold spire is 90 metres high with an external staircase that turns four times counter-clockwise. The spire is topped by a vase-like structure bearing a gilded globe with a 4-meter-tall figure of Christ The altarpiece by Nicodemus Tessin depicts a scene from the Garden of Gethsemane between two columns. The Organ was built by the Botzen Brothers from 1698-1700 and is mounted on the wall and supported by two elephants and pedals. The facade of the organ has intricate wood carvings and a bust of Christian V in the centre.
