COPENHAGEN. As pristine today as it was during the 15th century, Holmens Kirke has managed to avoid the ravages of both war and fire. It was named the Royal Navy's church in 1619, and its nave (built in 1562) was used as an anchor forge. The Dutch Renaissance church was enlarged with two additional wings in 1641, and its Baroque altar boasts a pulpit carved by Abel Schrøder the Younger. The church is still used by the royal family for affairs of state.
