Reformed Church, Copenhagen - Denmark - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"Reformert Kirke er en kirkebygning i Gothersgade i København over for Rosenborg. Den blev bygget i 1689 på initiativ af dronning Charlotte Amalie til de tysk-nederlandske og franske reformerte menigheder i København. Hun var selv kalvinist og opnåede religionsfrihed for sig selv, sit hof og senere alle trosfæller i hovedstaden. Kirken blev bygget i 1689 af Hendrik Brockham sammen med hofmaleren Jacques d¨Agar og siges at være inspireret af den flamske mennonitkirke på Singel i Amsterdam. Bygningen med kirkegård, fire præsteresidenser, to skoler, et plejehjem og et opdragelseshjem deltes fra begyndelsen mellem de to menigheder med hver sit sprog, sine presbyterier og præster. Med undtagelse af en fransk og en tysk præstegård med menighedslokaler er alle andre bygninger med tiden solgt fra.De indvandrede calvinister (huguenotter) fik fri religionsudøvelse i 1685. Siden 1991 har også den koreanske presbyterianske menighed og siden 2011 den ghanesiske presbyterianske menighed i byen holdt gudstjenester i kirken. Den reformerte tro kræver en anden indretning af kirken end Folkekirken, så de ikke kan umiddelbart benytte de samme kirker, mens presbyterianerne tilhører verdenens reformerte kirkesamfund."
