Across the road from Amalienborg Palace is a church built by Nicolai Igtved, the designer of Amalienborg. As it uses a lot of marble from Denmark and Norway, the locals affectionately call it the "Marble Church". The Marble Church has the largest dome in the Scandinavian region.
Its diameter is 31 meters. The dome is placed on 12 columns. The design was probably inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The Marble Church is one of the few domed churches in Denmark and the largest in the country. When you enter the church, you will be amazed by the huge dome inside.
The dome is 30 meters in diameter and is painted with images of Jesus' 12 apostles. The marble church blends in with the Amalienborg Palace, complementing each other and adding a lot of color to Copenhagen. Now, the church is trying to become a modern city church, so it is open to the public every day.
Moreover, it is an ideal place for many newlyweds in Copenhagen to hold their weddings. When you step into the church, you will be amazed by the huge dome inside the house. The dome has a diameter of 30 meters and is painted with portraits of Jesus' 12 apostles. The decoration and paintings of the entire interior of the church are solemn, grand, majestic, noble, and full of sacredness and sublimity.
Inside, you will feel your own insignificance, unconsciously holding your breath, not daring to make any extra noise, quietly appreciating and appreciating the immortality, solemnity and sacredness of religion. On the top of the buildings outside the church, there are many tall sculptures of figures, which add a lot of solemnity and luxury to the church, making the building more beautiful and full of historical vicissitudes.
The overall layout of the church and the palace is symmetrical and harmonious, making this building full of royal style and atmosphere. Most of the stones used in the church are marble from Finland and Norway, so it is called the "Marble Church". The original intention of building this cathedral was to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Oldenburg royal family's rule over Denmark (1479-1779).
The present-day Oldenburg is a city in northwestern Germany, in Lower Saxony. It is located in the western part of the state. On the banks of the Hunt River, between Bremen and the Dutch city of Groningen, it is the fourth largest city in Lower Saxony. Oldenburg was first mentioned in historical records in 1108.
It was a county in the early 12th century and a city in 1345. Historically, it was the capital of the Earldom of Oldenburg, a state in Germany. The ruling family of the state gave rise to the Nordic Oldenburg dynasty. The original intention of building this cathedral was to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Oldenburg royal family's rule over Denmark.
However, due to lack of funds, the project was not completed until more than a hundred years later in 1894. The Marble Church is one of the few dome churches in Denmark and the largest in the country. The church was originally designed by architect Nicolaiegtved in 1740.
The church was built to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Oldenburg royal family's rule over Denmark. The foundation stone laying ceremony was held in 1749 by King Frederick V, but the project was stalled due to a lack of funds and the death of architect Ekiteford in 1754.
The original design was eventually discarded. As a result, the construction of the church never officially began, and the stagnation in the progress of the project left the site in ruins for nearly 150 years. The church that Yunluo and An Chuyu saw now was designed by Ferdinand Meldahl.
I really miss the cool weather. This blue sky is worth Yunluo and Anchuyu's persistence. The beauty of Hermès. An encounter in the vast crowd, and she told Yunluo a story about the heaven in the scarf behind her, haha. It is said that their monthly income after tax is about 25,000, no comment. The second floor of the watch shop on the pedestrian street. I insist on buying it at the airport, it's too expensive here.
My favorite Hugo Bosshay, what kind of store is so charming? It makes people from northern Europe line up in long queues. A century-old store - Georg Jensen on the pedestrian street. The founder, Georg Jensen, was born in 1866 in a blacksmith's home in a village in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen. He became a goldsmith apprentice at the age of 14 and was keen on sculpture and pottery.
After graduating from the Copenhagen Academy of Arts, he became a sculptor as he wished. Later, Georg Jensen traveled to Italy and France to study, and experienced the shock brought by the combination of art and life: it turns out that a piece of jewelry or even a spoon can show the beauty of sculpture. In 1904, Georg Jensen, who became a silver carving craftsman, opened a studio in Copenhagen.
The jewelry, cutlery and silverware produced by Georg Jensen were immediately welcomed. The beauty and extraordinary quality of Georg Jensen's silverware attracted countless people and his achievements were recognized by the world. At the Paris, Barcelona and Brussels World Exhibitions in 1925, 1929 and 1935.
In 1932, he became the only foreign silversmith to exhibit his work at the Goldsmiths' Hall in England. The scale of the Georg Jensen workshop in Copenhagen continued to expand, and by the end of the 1920s, Georg Jensen had established branches in New York, Paris, London, Stockholm, Berlin and Buenos Aires.
By the time the silversmith passed away in 1935, his studio had developed into a world-renowned silver brand. In Georg Jensen's silver fairy tale, Harold Nielsen (1892-1977) is a famous name, and his contribution is not only related to art.
Although he aspired to be a painter, as the younger brother of Georg Jensen's third wife, Nelson was destined to become a "silversmith". After joining Georg Jensen's workshop in 1909, Nelson started as an apprentice and worked his way up to designer and supervisor. From 1958 to 1962, Nelson served as the company's art director.
He designed many jewelry and silverware, many of which are still in production today, including the grape brooch and pyramid tableware series that are still popular today. He is George Jensen's closest working partner, and his design style is very similar to that of John Roeder, another early designer of the brand. Both of them avoid decorative elements and have a special liking for shapes and lines.
Nelson became the interpreter of the design concepts of Jensen and Rohde, turning their design sketches (usually, Jensen's sketches were drawn on napkins) into precise drawings so that craftsmen could cast silverware according to the drawings. After Georg Jensen died in 1935, Nelson took the lead.
By recruiting young and promising craftsmen and designers and training them to meet Georg Jensen's standards, the company can continue to produce high-quality designs. His most talked-about move was to recruit Henning Guber, known as the "Leader of Danish Silversmiths". Under Nielsen's leadership.
The company successfully completed the handover between the first and second generations. Georg Jensen's business transitioned from the Jason and Rhodes era to a new and exciting era. Georg Jensen has always been regarded as a national treasure of Denmark. After 10 to 15 years of rigorous and prudent assessment by the royal family, it was finally awarded the "Royal Warrant" issued by the Queen herself.
Georg Jensen has a long history with the royal family. The inspiration for its classic Daisy series came from the birth of Princess Margaret of Denmark in 1940. So many people think that Daisy is the symbol of Denmark. For lunch, I finally saw some rice. The chicken wings are also very strong.
Let's enjoy the good time here again. After packing all the luggage, we took the free shuttle bus from the Crown Hotel to the airport. Starbucks at the airport. This is really a multinational corporation that is everywhere. The tax refund point at Copenhagen Airport is not big. But Yunluo saw that they would randomly check the tax refund items in the luggage. The one Yunluo was looking for was actually a Lego. I was also drunk.
Large items over a certain amount need to be stamped by the customs, and then returned to the tax refund window. After the tax refund, go to Starbucks for a seat. By the way, Copenhagen Airport, this is the third time I've been here, haha. Copenhagen is on Amager Island, about 8 kilometers away from Copenhagen City.
The completion and opening of the national railway in 1998 has made it only 12 minutes to take the national railway from the airport to Copenhagen Central Station. The first floor of the arrival hall of the airport station. It takes 15 minutes to take a taxi to the city. The terminal building is divided into domestic and international lines. The international lines are lines 2 and 3. Copenhagen International Airport is one of the four largest airports in Europe.
Copenhagen Airport is a major airport in the world, serving Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden. This is the Hermès store at the airport. It is 20% duty-free, cheaper than the pedestrian street. There are also big brands such as BV and Hugo Boss here. The most important thing is that there is also a good watch store with Omega, Cartier, etc.
I advise you not to buy things in the pedestrian street. It is really cheap here. It is convenient to go directly to the plane after shopping. The price is cheap in itself. With the 20% tax refund, the iPhone is basically 25% off the domestic price. It is a benefit. Everyone, take a look. This store also has many electronic products, almost all of which are cheaper than in China. If you need them, you can come here to have a look.
We were told that there was a mechanical failure in the aircraft landing system, and each person was given 100 DKK to go shopping, haha. We only bought a sandwich and a bottle of water, but we still have to praise their personalized service. It is better than in China. The Royal Danish Jewelry Store. The gray-haired salesperson meticulously arranged the items, and his professionalism was admirable.
There are still a lot of things at Copenhagen Airport at night. At least there is no need to worry about food and drink. I will go through customs soon. After waiting for 2 hours, I can finally get on the plane. Then I found that I was in the first row. It was a bit refreshing. Although the journey was tiring, I still miss these short days. Yunluo would rather the helplessness of separation and reunion be exchanged for the natural sounds of spring night.
Yunluo wishes that the present and the future could be filled with the coolness of autumn. Scandinavian Airlines serves 24 million passengers between Europe, North America and Asia. Its fleet of 200 aircraft serves 100 destinations around the world. Scandinavian Airlines' commercial operations combine its own management with external environmental factors, with the goal of developing into a leader in the aviation field.
Major hub airports: Copenhagen International Airport, Oslo International Airport, Stockholm International Airport. I personally think SAS is very professional and reliable, and the price is reasonable. The airfare from Beijing to Copenhagen via a transfer is cheaper than a direct flight to Copenhagen.
Accommodation: I mostly booked through booking. During the few days in CPH, I found that Yunluo's IHG card was more favorable for booking Crowne Plaza Hotel, so I made a reservation on the IHG official website. The hotel booking price of CPH is the room price, and each additional person is 75 DKK, of course, there is an upper limit.
However, if there are more people, you can consider the reservation method. Shopping: Founded in 1963, ecco is a shoe brand from Denmark. Its footwear products include casual and formal series, outdoor series, sports series, golf series and children's series; other products include bag accessories, small leather goods, shoe care products, etc.
Ecco adopts a top-down operation model - from the production of leather raw materials to design and development and product manufacturing. Each link is directly supervised by Ecco. As of 2014, Ecco has about 4,000 brand sales points in more than 85 countries around the world; in China, it has more than 850 sales points.
Ecco shoes are soft, wear-resistant, tough, and light, and the high-quality leather makes them particularly comfortable. But after buying a satisfactory pair of Ecco shoes, you should also pay attention to maintenance to extend their service life. Daily maintenance methods for oily leather shoes: 1. Use shoe polish frequently.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
First, wipe off the dust on the surface of the leather shoes with a clean soft cloth, then evenly apply oil and wipe. 2. Try to avoid wearing leather shoes on rainy and snowy days. If the leather shoes are damp, they should be placed in a ventilated and dry place to dry. Do not expose them to the sun or dry them. At the same time, do not place them vertically with the toes facing the ground. They should be placed flat to avoid deformation.
3. When you find that the color of oiled leather shoes has become lighter, you need to oil them. You should use a dry cloth or special oil such as crystal shoe wax to wipe them. Do not use ordinary shoe polish or liquid shoe polish. 4. When storing leather shoes, wipe them clean and oil them, put them in a dry place, and do not squeeze them to cause deformation. After storing them for a period of time (especially in the rainy season), take them out for ventilation and wipe them clean again to prevent mold.
Use ecco foam cleaner for care, which can achieve better maintenance effect. Tips for daily maintenance of patent leather casual shoes: Try not to use a wet cloth for daily care of patent leather. Just use a dry soft cloth to gently wipe the surface of the shoes. If you encounter stains, you can use a cloth with a little ecco foam cleaner to gently wipe the stained area until the stain disappears.
If the patent leather shoes are accidentally scratched, the simplest and quickest way is to use strong glue to stick the cut leather back to its original position. In addition, it is also very important to keep the inside of the shoes dry and clean. Daily maintenance method of matte leather shoes: matte leather shoes are very afraid of water, so try to avoid wearing them when it rains.
If the upper of the shoe is dirty, you can first use a shoe brush to gently brush off the dust on the surface, then wipe the dirty area with a damp cloth, and wear it after it dries. After all, this is Northern Europe, and all taxis are Mercedes-Benz. We arrived in Helsinki at 10:30 pm local time (Finland is 6 hours behind Beijing time, and the following countries are 7 hours behind Beijing time).
So I booked the Rantasipi Airport Hotel near Vantaa Airport (vantaalentoasemat1) in advance. The single room with breakfast cost about RMB 668. This is the most upscale hotel I stayed in during the whole trip. The rest were relatively cheap.
The first day of the trip is over. I found that there are many trams in Europe, and the body of the tram is quite long. The streets of Helsinki are quite spacious, and there are few cars and people. Finland has the lowest population density in Northern Europe. Sibelius Park (Sibeliuspark) Rock Church (Temppeliaukiochurch).
Parliament building (parliamenthouse) Helsinki Central Railway Station (rautatieasema). Here I would like to tell you about the railway stations in Europe. Most of the railway stations have no security check and no ticket gates. The platform is connected to the street outside. Anyone with or without a ticket can go to the platform at will.
There is no conductor checking tickets at the door of the train. You can just press the button on the door to open the door and get on the train. Tickets will be checked from time to time on the train. The Daughter of the Baltic Sea statue (Helsinki Cathedral (Helsingintuomiokirkko) (Helsinki Cathedral ...
Uspenski Cathedral (Orthodoxuspenskycathedral) This time I stayed in Finland for less than 24 hours, so I only visited some representative urban landscapes in the capital Helsinki.
I saw this interesting gadget in the terminal building of Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. When you lie down and insert a coin, the lid will close and you can sleep and rest. There are even game consoles in the waiting room. I chose Norwegian Airlines from Helsinki to Stockholm. It is a low-cost airline and all meals on the plane are charged.
Vatican Picture It took 1 hour to fly to Stockholm Arlanda Airport, which is more than 40 kilometers away from the city. You can choose to take the train (about 130 Swedish kronor, no student ticket, and it takes about 45 minutes) or the Arlanda Express (more than 200 kronor for those over 25 years old, about 130 kronor for those under 25 years old, and it takes about 25 minutes) to reach the city.
After about 45 minutes, we arrived at the central railway station (Stockholm Central Station). The waiting room of the railway station is quite nice~~~ French scenic spot pictures From the railway station, you can walk to the youth hostel Citylodge Stockholm (Stockholm City Hotel) that the author has booked. A bed with breakfast costs about RMB 207 per night.
That night I stayed with a few Indians. Because the room was in the basement, the ventilation was poor, and the room was full of curry smell. The next day, the trip ended. I took a nap, but because of the time difference, I woke up naturally at 4 or 5 in the morning, and then stayed in bed until 7 o'clock in the morning. I started a new day's journey with my backpack on my back~~The first picture is the Central Railway Station.
The second picture is of a few girls dressed cutely that I happened to meet on the road, so I took a photo of them. They also waved to Yunluo enthusiastically~~ City Hall (stadshuset), where the dinner is held after the Nobel Prize ceremony every year~~ Stockholm city architecture. (To be continued...)
