Vor Frelsers Kirke

The three-story organ of Vor Frelsers Kirke (Our Savior’s Church) dates to 1698 and has more than 4,000 pipes. I didn’t understand the significance of the elephants, but we saw them more than this one time around Copenhagen.

A view of the church’s most unusual spire:

A beautiful organ, impressive, but, yes, the elephants look strange in this place ! V.
