Frederiks Chapel, Cathedral, Roskilde

The Moltke Chapel in Karise and the Frederiks Chapel in the cathedral of Roskilde mark the development of Danish Neoclassicism. Harsdorff was the first Scandinavian architect to shake off elements of the French Rococo in order to reach for a purer form of Neoclassicism.
