Located a stone’s throw away from Storget street, the St. Nicholas Church currently accommodates the Nikolaj Contemporary Art Center. The 90-meter tall spire of the building can be spotted even from a distance and is famous for its Neo-Baroque design. The view from the tower is another highlight of the place. Throughout its history, the church has served many purposes and was formerly a naval museum and a library. When sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen returned to Copenhagen in the 1830’s, a flag was hoisted at this tower to welcome him and the place even hosted the famous Fluxus event in the 1960’s.For art lovers, the exhibition of the Nikolaj Contemporary Art Centre promise a refreshing collection while the architecture of the place itself, is a highlight on its own.
