2. Christians Kirke

COPENHAGEN.   Built between 1755 and 1759, this Rococo church once served German Lutheran congregations. Now, its three-story galleries and the crypt's 46 burial chapels draw visitors from around the world. Designed by Danish architect Nikolai Eigtved, it was referred to as the "lottery church" when King Frederik V conducted a public lottery to pay for the cost of repairing it. The tower dates to 1769, and the church was re-consecrated as a Danish parish sanctuary in 1901. BUS: 2, 8, 9, 19, 37, 350S   (© 10Best)
