Vor Frue Kirke, Church of Our Lady Cathedral, Neoclassical style 1829 building by architect Christian Frederik Hansen on Frue Plads Square, Copenhagen The church has a pillared portico, a flat interior ceiling and simple classical lines. Bertel Thorvaldsen was commissioned to decorate the interior with statues of Jesus Christ and the apostles. Thorvaldsen donated the modern font as a personal gift. The 60 metre tower was based on the older medieval tower. The tower contains four bells. The 4 Ton "Stormklokken", cast in 1828 by Soren Hornhaver, is the heaviest bell in Denmark. The oldest bell in Denmark was cast in 1490 by Olug Kegge and was transferred to Our Lady Church from Antvorskov Kloster. A third bell was cast by Friderich Holtzmann in 1699 and the fourth was cast by Anker Heegaard in 1876. Our Lady Church was designated a Denmark's National Cathedral in 1924 and has been renovated over the last century. Marcussen & Søn built a new large central organ in 1995 and a choir organ was added in 2002.
