Christian Church

The Christian Church in Copenhagen was built in 1754-1759 and was originally called the "German Church of Frederick" - in honor of then-ruling King Frederick V, and in homage to the vast and influential German community of Copenhagen. The initiative to build the temple came from representatives of the German population, who for many years sought to have their own church in one of the prosperous areas.

Serious changes in the life of the temple began after the tumultuous political events of 1772, when a law on citizenship was passed, which was due to growing discontent among the population about German influence in Denmark. In this regard, the role of the German church significantly decreased and was insignificant until the middle of the XIX century. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the temple was used as an ordinary parish church, at the same time it received its modern name - in honor of King Christian IV.

From an architectural point of view, the Christian Church in Copenhagen was conceived as a rectangular block, in the center of which stands a slender tower. This temple is considered one of the best examples of the Protestant parish temple in Denmark. Special attention is paid to preaching and working with residents of nearby areas.
