Grundtvigskirken Church


Danish National Monument
På Bjerget 5
Copenhagen 2400
Denmark
+45 7611 5050
http://www.grundtvigskirke.dk
Grundtvigskirken is a national monument dedicated to the Danish psalm writer Grundtvig. The construction of this church started in 1921 and was not completed until 1940, because of the death of the architect, P.V. Jensen-Klint. The result is an oversized, typical village church, known for its great number of yellow-white bricks. Six bricklayers put their life's work into this building. The church functions as a common National Church. When you see this church for the first time, it's really breathtaking. Walk towards it and watch it grow larger and larger in size - that's quite an experience. It is situated on top of a hill that is the highest point of Copenhagen. This part of town, Bispebjerg, is northwest of Søerne. If you are willing to leave the centre of Copenhagen to see a great Danish monument, this is where you should go.
