Christiansborg Palace Church is a church of the Royal Palace. It is used for the ceremonies of members of the royal family. The original castle church was built between 1738 and 1742 during the construction of the first Christiansborg Castle. It was lost in the Christiansborg fire in 1794. As much of the exterior walls and partitions surviving the fire, they were reused in the present church. In its current architecture, the church of the castle was built in the years 1813-1826 in the classical style by the architect C.F. Hansen. Burned again in 1992, the church reopened in 1997.

Our Saviour's church was built from 1682 to 1696 on a temporary church built earlier in the century. The harmonious baroque building has a curious spire, which he obtained later in 1749-52. The Torah Tower, according to its architect Laurids de Thurah (1706-1759), was inspired by the spire of Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza in Rome, which is recognized as a masterpiece of the Baroque. A myth around the tower tells that once finished, Thurah realized that the spiral was going in the wrong direction and that he committed suicide by throwing himself from the top of the spiral staircase.
