Saturday featured a big concert in the evening, but the rest of the day was free. And little jazz occured before noon, so another walk was scheduled. There was an interesting concert in the afternoon, although outdoors. I tentatively planned to attend, weather permitting etc.
The current cathedral location was paid for by the Austrian Empress Maria Theresia who personally paid for the chapel, which has since expanded into this cathedral.
The outside of St. Ansgar's Catholic Cathedral.
Inside the Cathedral.
The Russian Orthodox Church, just up the street from the Catholic Cathedral. Unfortunatley it was not open for visitors on the several times I passed, so I have no additional information on this building, and none of the guide books I have mention anything more than its location.
Many of the buildings along the streets have an entrance like this one, which leads to an inner courtyard. I didn't venture into any of these courtyards, but it was clear that they varied enormously. Some, like this one, appeared to be commercial, whereas others were more likely residential in nature.
My planned tour, although somewhat random, was to walk down to the Kastellet, one of the original fortifications for Copenhagen. We drove around it in the bus to reach the Little Mermaid, as the bus was far too big to go in, and indeed there is only one road in and out anyway.
Duck feeding time at Churchillparken, which is on one side of the Kastellet. Indeed, the bridge on the right is the only road access into the Jastellet, as it is surrounded by a moat - still!
