Early 18th Century synagogue in Copenhagen

Not sure if this refers to an Ashkenazi or Sephardi synagogue. The King is presumably Frederick IV. Of course, Hamburg at this time was also Danish territory.

Copenhagen, Dec. 26

...

The Jews of this City have desired Leave to rebuild their Synagogue; but ‘tis said the King answer’d them, that he would have all the Christian Churches first rebuilt.

King of Denmark visits Livorno synagogue, 1709

No doubt a brilliant PR move by King Frederick IV of Denmark, whose principal enemies were Protestant, not Catholic. I am sure the visit helped keep the Jewish merchants in the Danish, rather than Swedish, camp.

"The Jews have a handsome Synagogue in this City [Leghorn/Livorno]. The King of Denmark being there in the Year 1709, would not go to any of the Roman Catholick Churches, but went to the Synagogue, as they say; of which they keep a Memorial in an Inscription on the Stair-case which goes up to it."
