Grundtvig’s Church

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

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.

5 years ago It was closed and I only could look at it outside. Now I have finally got inside. Absolutely unusual and gorgeous church outside and inside. Must see!

The most beautiful, elegant church I have ever seen ~ must visit

I went to this 'must visit' place during the second day of my trip with my friends on 25-May-2024. On that day itself, someone had booked for a wedding event, so we were unable to enter the Church. But me and my friends had some fun out there, we took quite a lot of nice group photos over there.

Visiting Grundtvig’s Church was an incredible experience. The architecture is stunning and the atmosphere peaceful. It’s a hidden gem in Copenhagen that’s definitely worth checking out, and the visit is free.

Incredible church well worth taking a Viggo to visit. Beautiful, unusual. Captures the simplicity in a church the Puritans strived for but were never able to really achieve due to their belief in the Elect. Here there are no barriers or intermediaries to a connection with God.

I didn’t go into the church but happened to be in the area to see it.. oh boy! I thought I was in the wrong area when I was close to the church because it looked modern and had housing. Boom! I rounded the corner and this unexpected beauty lay there.. it is a site to behold! It is a must visit if you’re close by..a lil bit of a trek from the city center. I’m glad i came. FYI they were doing construction on both sides of the church there was scaffolding.

Very cool experience visiting. Due to being out of the way from the main downtown areas the church was not very crowded. The architecture, exterior and interior were both incredible and plenty of chairs to sit in to take it all in.

It's off-the-beaten-path and a trek to get there being so north from central city, but it's worth the investment. Grundtvigs Kirke is one of the only examples of expressionist architecture in churches around the world. From the moment you turn the corner to see the church, it's stunning. It seems other worldly. It's open throughout the year for visitors. When my friend and I went in at 3 p.m. on a Thursday in October 2021, the doors were open and an organist was playing. A few tourists filled the seats snapping photos of the unique design. If you love design and architecture, definitely go here. Admission is free and they sell a few items inside to help fund the church's Christmas charity work.

Sunday morning, so of course I went to church and I am glad that I made the journey out to this part of Copenhagen. This church is simply beautiful. A newer style than the older "Gothic" or "Neoclassic" churches, this is what's called "expressionist" architecture. Mostly built between 1921 and 1926, with the interior completed around 1940. There is seating for a congregation of 1440. Lots of curb appeal here. The church just gets better and better as you get closer to it. A massive structure, simply stunning to look at from the outside. And then the inside. Just amazing. Beautifully and minimally decorated but stunning. There are some postcards near the lobby that are for sale on an honor/donation system. I am so glad that I made the effort to come out here.

This church blows my socks off it is so awesome to look at. I don't subscribe to any religious institution, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate when something is truly awesome (defined as awe inspiring and not just merely cool). A picture is really worth a thousand words in this case, so I don't really have more to say except to see it in person or, if you can't do that, to see it in pictures. Keep an eye out for the model ship suspended in the back of the church.
