Grundtvig's Church, Expressionist church in Bispebjerg, Denmark
The yellow brick structure rises 49 meters high with a 76-meter length, featuring a western facade that resembles a monumental church organ.
Construction started in 1921 after architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint won a design competition, and his son Kaare completed the work in 1940.
The church commemorates Danish theologian N.F.S. Grundtvig through its design that merges traditional Danish village church elements with Gothic Revival architecture.
The church opens Monday through Saturday from 9:00 to 16:00, with extended hours until 18:00 on Thursdays, and includes wheelchair access facilities.
The interior contains two organs, including one with an 11-meter pipe weighing 425 kilograms, which stands as the longest organ pipe in Scandinavia.

Concrete churches from different countries show the architectural evolution of the 20th century. These structures combine geometric forms with modernist designs and use light as a design element. The buildings demonstrate the technical capabilities of concrete as a construction material for religious spaces.
From Nyhavn's harbor houses to the modern architecture of The Blue Planet aquarium, Copenhagen contains varied photographic perspectives. The city combines historical palaces, new buildings, urban parks, and cultural sites across all seasons.
