This is my church, Arne Jacobsen's (1902-1971) Danish National Bank in Copenhagen (1966-1978). In my opinion, the most remarkable feature of the structure is the delicacy with which Jacobsen handles the brutal stereometry, especially noticeable in the perfect (and I don't like to use this word) staircase in the massive central hall and also in the impressive control of light and masses.
Do not, I repeat, do not go to Copenhagen without visiting the National Bank!
