A view of Frederiksholms Kanal, a canal in central Copenhagen, Denmark, in about 1910. The prominent domed building in the centre of the image is the Christiansborg Palace which is the seat of the Danish Parliament. The large steeple is the 300 ft spire of St. Nicholas (Lutheran) Church which opened in 1912. The image appears to show scaffolding around the spire which suggests that the photograph was taken during its reconstruction in the years from 1909 to 1912. The church now houses the Nikolaj Contemporary Art Center.

All that remains of the former monastery is the bell tower.
