A heartwarming gesture in the dark winter. An act of spontaneous helpfulness
Hidden Churches in Copenhagen
I lived for many years in Copenhagen but was oblivious to these masterpieces of beautiful architecture. Frederiksberg is an independent city surrounded by our capital, Copenhagen. These four churches are from the same time period, the late nineteen hundred and were built because of population expansion in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. Unfortunately, the linked homepages are only in Danish and are […]
Our Cathedral in Copenhagen
Waking in Copenhagen, I like to go inside to look where it’s possible to enter freely. Between using children and grandchildren, I take time for long walks.

I have made posts before on this subject but in fine weather, the atmosphere and architecture inspire […]
Houses at the Svan Mill , Copenhagen
The cholera epidemy in Copenhagen in 1856 resulted in an increased interest in creating healthy housings for working-class people who died in great numbers by infections. Renowned architects created the houses uniquely, and they are still attractive today. The streets close to the beach of the Swan Mill in Eastern Copenhagen are all named after composers. At the time they were […]
