You don't have to be a devout Christian or a connoisseur of sacred architecture to appreciate one of the most unusual churches in the world. It welcomes tourists from all over the world. Besides, hardly anyone can walk past Grundtvig's Church in Copenhagen without going inside.

One of the main attractions of the Danish capital and a magnificent monument of sacred architecture looks like a church just like an apple looks like a pineapple. The project of the famous Danish architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint is a unique and vivid example of Expressionism in the construction of religious buildings.

Named after the Danish priest and philosopher, the author of the Danish national anthem, Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig, the unusual church combines many architectural styles: ranging from Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau to Danish folklore of the Middle Ages. It took more than 5 years to complete the construction and about 15 more to create the interior. The church interior was designed by the architect's son, Kaare Klint, a world-renowned designer of eco-friendly furniture. Although it all happened at the beginning of the 20th century, the original church still makes a strong impression on all tourists.

The facade of Grundtvig's Church looks like an old organ, crowned with a slender bell tower almost 50 meters high. The lower part of the church was made of yellow brick, the traditional material for the Danish churches, and the upper part was made of special stone. This makes Grundtvig's Church stand out even more among other city buildings.

It is better to set aside a day for visiting the church, rather than planning a tour of several attractions. Firstly, the building stands far from the center. Secondly, you will certainly want to stay longer and listen to the largest organ in Scandinavia. There are two organs in Grundtvig's Church. One of them was made in 1940, and the other, with pipes 11 meters long, in 1965.
