"Constructed from some six million biscuit-coloured bricks, this monolithic church towers like a rocket ship over the quiet residential streets that surround it. Designed by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint in 1913 (although not finished until after his death in 1940) this rare example of religious expressionist architecture is a pilgrimage for design enthusiasts."

Only saw from the outside, but worth the visit! Gorgeous architecture and an awesome scale that pictures can't do justice. We came when sun was setting which provided beautiful lighting! Also got to hear the bells going. Would recommend visiting around this time (5ish).

This remarkable church, located just north of Copenhagen, stands out with its striking expressionist architecture. Its unique design is both captivating and unforgettable, making it a must-visit destination for anyone in the area. The harmonious blend of artistry and spirituality ensures a lasting impression.

The visit was intended for the light show but the church itself is amazing. Especially the facade takes you to another world. Architecture students must visit! Modern approach through spiritual context

PAY ATTENTION TO THE OPENING HOURS, THEY SAY OT IS OPEN TILL 4PM BUT THEY WON'T LET PEOPLE ENTER AFTER 3:30, A REAL SHAME! Nice and pretty unique piece of architecture if you are lucky to enter

Very impressive and very austere building. All build with bricks. No ornaments nor the wealth one can see in catholic churches. Free entry.

This place feels unreal. Very minimalistic church from the 1910s that gives a feeling like a building coming from the future. If you like megarchitectures from dune you will love this outside and inside. Also there are concerts made with the incredible organ inside. Very strange place, but it has something different really.

I always make it a point to visit notable churches in European destinations. This one is a bit of a hassle to get to from Copenhagen city center and to be honest it’s really not worth the visit. Pretty on the exterior, very basic inside without much to view. If you have extra time it’s a nice time filler but if you’re pressed for time it’s safe to skip this.
