View of the Marble Square with the Ruins of the Uncompleted Frederik's Church, 1835. [Frederik's Church, commonly called the Marble Church, in Frederiksstaden, Copenhagen. Frederik V laid the foundation stone in 1749, but the original architect, Nicolai Eigtved, died in 1754 while the project was incomplete. The church - built of limestone blocks, not marble - was finally opened in 1894, 145 years after the first stone was laid.]
