Originally designed, rococo style, by architect Nicolai Eigtved in 1740, but due to interminable controversies, followed by budget cuts and lack of funds, it took a century and half to complete.
From its founding in 1749 by King Frederik V, as a 300 yeas jubilee comemorating the Oldenburgs Coronation, it stood incomplete as a ruin, until a deal was struck with industrialist C.F. Tietgen who finalized the building, and offered it to the State against the right to develop the surrounding areas for his own account. It was completed in 1894.
Built as a rotunda, a circular ground plan covered by a dome 31 m in diameter supported by twelve columns dividing it in 12 sections decorated each with one of the 12 Apostles. 70 m high from ground to top.
Two organs, the first by Knud Olsen, dates back to end of 19th C, and the second designed by Rolf Graae, dates back to 1963.
