"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."

One of the most beautiful churches in Copenhagen in my opinion. The architecture is amazing, build with yellow bricks entirely. Facade and the interior felt a bit gothic. Chairs with natural fiber weaving, add warmness to the cold feeling interior. You’ll love this place if you like photography.

Entry to this church is free, so there’s no need to buy tickets. It’s a truly breathtaking place, the interior is calming and beautifully designed. Every corner reveals a new perspective, especially as the sunlight filters through. We recommend taking a seat and simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere for 15–20 minutes, without your phone. Just be present. And don’t skip the restroom, it’s surprisingly nice too!

One of the most beautiful church I have seen. It’s quite modern but the lines are amazing. A bit sad that some people are there for taking pictures and talk very loud..

One of my bucketlist checked! One of the most beautiful church I've ever seen. The interior and the lighting is out of this world. It's surreal and looks like a painting. From the main road, it really stands out. If you want to take a photo of the interior, be sure to come early (before the opening time at 10.00).

What a beautiful, magnificent architecture piece of art! The exterior is as beautiful as the interior. Simple yet elegant and defined. Love it!

Grundtvigs kirke is a majestic church, definetly worth a visit. We arrived just in time to listen to the organ being played, which added a lot to the experience! There is no need to buy tickets.

Stunning architecture and space. Easy to get to via public transit and free to access. Ensure you check their service schedule as they’re not open to the public during those times. Also closed on Mondays.

What a beautiful place. We stopped here as our final stop on the drive back into Copenhagen, after visiting Louisiana and Ordrupgaard — and it was absolutely worth it. Entrance was free, it wasn’t crowded (we came in late May, around 4pm), and parking nearby was super easy. I’d highly recommend it to any architecture enthusiast — a peaceful, inspiring visit off the usual tourist path.

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.
