At the time of its construction, this was the largest man-made structure in Greenland. Now, it just seems like an average arctic-sized church, close to the coastline. Being a small town of less than 5,000, it's pretty easy to find the church as the whole town is technically walkable.
I say technically because, well, being if you're not used to cold weather you might not appreciate walking around in freezing temperatures for 20-30 minutes at a time. It's surprisingly doable though if you prepare proper clothing, and, the cold doesn't feel as cold when you're in the arctic compared to non-polar latitudes.

Illuminated Petronas Tower at Night from below. The Petronas Towers, also known as the Petronas Twin Towers (in Malay Language: Menara Petronas, or Menara Berkembar Petronas), are twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH)’s official definition and ranking, they were the tallest buildings in the world from the year 1998 to 2004 and remain the tallest twin towers in the world. So the Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world for six years, until Taipei 101 in Taiwan was completed in the year 2004.
The Petronas Towers still remain the tallest twin buildings in the world. The towers feature a double decker skybridge connecting the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest 2-story bridge in the world. The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia’s Muslim religion. The buildings are a landmark of Kuala Lumpur, along with nearby Kuala Lumpur Tower. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Asia

The Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace), one of the most interesting example of neoclassical architecture, characterizes the surrounding area. Luigi Cagnola began its construction in 1807 when the city was under Napoleonic rule. It is located at the centre of the large square, Piazza Sempione. It was interrupted after Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, and then completed by Francis I of Austria who dedicated it to Peace. In his book “A Moveable Feast”, Ernest Hemingway reports the erroneous conviction that the Arco della Pace is aligned with the Arc de Triomphe at the Carousel and the Arc du Triomphe at the Étoile, both in Paris. Originally the enormous group consisting of the chariot and six horses faced France, but after the fall of Napoleon and the advent of the Austrian domination in Milan, the chariot was turned around to face the city centre.
Строительство этой арки (а задумывалась она как Триумфальная арка) было начато по указанию Наполеона в 1807 году в честь побед его войск на Аппенинском полуострове. Арка должна была стать одновременно и неформальными 14-ми воротами Милана. Через них император Франции предполагал торжественно въехать в город после завершения строительства арки. Существует мнение, что проем арки ориентирован по оси Париж — Милан и выходит на историческую ось Парижа. Однако, в своей книге «Подвижный праздник» Эрнест Хемингуэй сообщает об ошибочной убежденности в том, что Арка Мира совпадает по оси с Триумфальной аркой и Аркой на площади Каррузель, обе в Париже. Первоначально огромная группа, состоящая из колесницы и шести лошадей, смотрела на Францию, но после падения Наполеона и прихода австрийского господства в Милане, колесницу повернули лицом к центру города.

The official date of foundation of the company is considered to be 1849. This year, on December 6, the confectioner "had the good fortune to deliver" products of his skill to the table of members of the imperial family, and for those products he received the highest approval of the Empress and Grand Duchesses. Already 2 years later, in 1851, a workshop for the production of sweets and chocolate, opened according to Württemberg by Theodor Ferdinand von Einem, began work on the Arbat. In 1867, an entry appeared in the directory "Factory enterprises of the Russian Empire": "Einem. The partnership of the steam factory of chocolate, sweets and tea cookies". After the October Revolution, the factory was nationalized and received the name "State Confectionery Factory No. 1, formerly Einem". In 1922, she was given the name "Red October".
Официальной датой основания предприятия считается 1849 год. В этот год 6 декабря кондитер «имел счастье поставлять» изделия своего мастерства к столу членов императорской семьи, и за те изделия удостоился высочайшего одобрения Императрицы и Великих Княгинь. Уже через 2 года, в 1851 году, на Арбате начала работу мастерская по изготовлению конфет и шоколада, открытая поданным Вюртемберга Теодором Фердинандом фон Эйнемом. В 1867 году в справочнике «Фабрично-заводские предприятия Российской империи» появляется запись: «Эйнем. Товарищество паровой фабрики шоколада, конфет и чайных печений». После октябрьской революции фабрика была национализирована и получила название «Государственная кондитерская фабрика № 1, бывшая Эйнем». В 1922 году ей присвоили имя «Красный Октябрь»..
