COPENHAGEN. Tsar Alexander III helped finance the cost of this Russian Orthodox Church, which was commissioned by Danish Princess Dagmar. Designed by Russian architect David Ivanovich Grimm, it was built by Albert Nielsen and completed in 1883. Open only for services or by appointment, the church is distinguished by three onion-shaped domes. Inside, a marble stairway leads to the top floor. From there, you get a great view of both the iconostasis (which separates the sanctuary from the rest of the church) and the ceiling's Byzantine and Russian paintings.
