Copenhagen 2024 - Fredrik’s Church (The Marble Church)

Funny enough it’s not completely made out of marble, as it just wasn’t feasible and the original architect Nicolai Eigtved, died in 1754. Only 5 years after the first foundation stone was laid which halted construction for quite some time. Then in 1766 King Fredrik V dies, who was eager that the church was to be built out of marble. Finally in 1770, King Christian VII decides to suspend his father’s project due to lack of financial funds. Leaving the church to finally be complete in 1894, as Ferdinand Melhdahl who took over the design was forced to use limestone blocks in its construction to finish the project, leaving a beautiful church similar to the design of Nicolai Eigtved with an interesting historical story. This architectural beauty deserved a post on its own.

Day 2 of Edinburgh. We visited the graves and heard about the history of the grave robbers and how they were being paid to supply corpses to an anatomist for his dissection lectures. It was very fascinating yet slightly disturbing at the same time. Before leaving we seen the grave of the dog Bobby where people had left sticks in front of his gravestone.

After that we explored more of the city, stumbling across the beautiful markets where foods of multiple cultures were being served. I would’ve loved to try the paella but the queue was too long for my liking. So I tried arancini instead, which was delicious!

As the day came to an end we went up to the castle to try catch a sunset. There was too much cloud coverage yet it made for some moody photos overlooking the city!

Day 1 of Edinburgh. What a stunning city. Full of beautiful architecture, history and people. I was taking away by the historical architecture in particular. Although most importantly this trip will hold a lot of memories close to my heart, due to the people I met on my venture. From the strangers I met on the street, to the people I met in the hostel. The conversations and craic we had was just priceless. For my first solo adventure, I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
