This listed building complex was erected in 1850s to provide housing for women in need by what was later to become the Treschow foundation, created by the Copenhagen attorney Frederik Treschow of the famous Treschow family. Finding your way to the buildings may be a bit of a challenge, but you will be rewarded by the serene atmosphere that remains there.

Climb the 400 steps to the top of the spire of the church for panoramic views of Copenhagen. The last steps are on the outside of the spire. Rumor has it that the designer threw himself out the tower, when he discovered the rotation of the stairs was the wrong way, so that sword fights would have to be fought with the left hand, however the spiraling stairs was meant to symbol the ascend into heaven.
