A little island
Holmen was a little island close to the centre of Copenhagen in the medieval times. Later in the 16th century constructions works started and the island was turned into a peninsula surrounded by the Holmens Canal. In the 19th century this canal was filled up, and the new street preserved the name Holmens Kanal.Anchore forge and later church

The first church looked not much different from the forge in 1619. However, later on in 1641 the building was rebuilt in a cruciform church.
