Church of St. Alban

The construction of the church began in the late 19th century, and was completed only 40 years later, in 1908. The architectural style of the Church of St. Alban is neo-Gothic, and the outside of the temple impresses with the beauty of the building - a high spire can be seen from any area of the city. However, today there are no ancient icons, ancient scriptures or holy relics, because by the standards of Catholicism this church is still quite young. In addition to immigrants from Germany and Poland, you can see representatives of various countries, nationalities and races - recently Koreans and Vietnamese who have adopted the Catholic faith are increasingly appearing here. Sometimes this church is confused with the Monastery of St. Alban, located here in Odense, where King Knud was once killed, but this monastery is much older: it was built in the 14th century on the site of a small wooden church.
