He received a military education and studied in Germany and Italy, where he was attracted to the large scale baroque and the decorative possibilities offered by the rococo. His most original work was the famous spiral tower added to Lambert van Haven's Our Saviour Church at Christianshavn in 1749-1752, inspired by Boromini's work in Rome. Thurah retired in 1750 to the mediaeval abbey at Borgumkloster, which he rebuilt with larger windows and gables. (see T. Faber, A History of Danish Architecture, Copenhagen, 1978).
