The Tower of the Church of Our Lady

Denmark, 1913

2 min.DK/DocumentarySilent films

The Church of Our lady was reconstructed in 1811-1829, after the fire of Copenhagen in 1807, but without the spire. Brewer Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914) offered to pay for a new spire in 1909. The offer was not received well in all circles. Many believed it would be in poor taste to add a baroque spire on the neo-classical church. The issue was dropped after Carl Jacobsen’s death.
