The Gefion Fountain (Danish: Gefionspringvandet) is a large fountain on the harbour front in Copenhagen, Denmark. It features a large-scale group of animal figures being driven by the Norse goddess Gefjon. It is located in Nordre Toldbod area next to Kastellet and immediately south of Langelinie.
The Gefion Fountain is seen at 0:48:47 in the 1972 Olsen Gang film The Olsen Gang’s Big Score. It also appears in Jeg elsker en anden (1946), Mor bag rattet (1965), and Min søsters børn vælter byen (1968).
The Dragon House is spectacular. I’ve always had a soft spot for Stave Churches and the like.

The same goes fo me, architecture is (or can be) an art. Some of the Stave Churches from Norway (Mountain Denmark) looks great.
I also like classic, neo classic, barok, etc. architecture.

Oh yeah. That’s good stuff, right there. I’ve had great conversations with the Pagans who want to take the Gothic Cathedrals back and put stained glass of the Norse Gods up. That’d be for me.

As you know, I am not religious. But I am all for protecting the architectural value of old churches. It would be great, if Thor and Odin takes over. But the most important, is to keep Jews, Muslims and others out.

You know, it’s a funny thing. Even if I didn’t believe in the Folk Soul, I’d still be interested with Paganism… But actually embracing Heathenry taught me a lot about respecting the achievements made by Europeans through the (White) Christian Era.
I am a protectionist at heart, too. And I think it’s difficult to understand how we are now without a grasp of what we were then.
Also, religious architect is objectively awesome. Modern architecture is often brutalist and bleh.

Yes, culture and religion was parallel in development and it can be hard to give and take credit in regards to religion and our accomplishment.
Yes, “religious architect is objectively awesome”. I don’t really know where it “starts and end”, because castles might not be “religious architecture” but it is of the same time and people.
Take my post ‘Canada’s grand railway hotels’ both Canada and USA build very awesome buildings back then and big buildings. Now they just build big (I think):
