N.F.S. Grundtvig was a man of extraordinary influence who is revered in Danish society. He was a Lutheran priest and theologian, and is highly-regarded for his hymn-writing. He was also known as an educational reformer who inspired the people’s high school system. This church was constructed as a monument to him. It is situated at a very high point and is on a massive scale - it is larger than many cathedrals. The church was constructed during the entire inter-war period by Jensen Klint and his son Kaare. Although there are many events and concerts here its main function remains as a parish church.
