Not much is known about what the church actually looked like back then but most of it was destroyed in a huge fire around 1380 and then rebuilt around 1400. The oldest part of the church probably dates to around that time. Over the centuries parts of the church were rebuilt and numerous additions completed. The famous architech, Hans Van Steenwinkel the Elder, did extensive renovations in 1585 and the extensive Sepulchral Chapels were built over several decades and not completed until around 1680 by Steenwinkel the Younger. The massive Copenhagen Fire of 1728 destroyed a lot of the church but once again it was rebuilt and the cool and looming Rococo spire was added around 1757.
