St Paul's Church, Church in Hadsten, Denmark
St Paul's Church, also known as Hadsten Church, is a church in the centre of Hadsten, Denmark. It has a long main wing with a red-brown tiled roof and walls covered in green climbing plants, and a tall pale grey square tower at its right end with a domed roof, a small spire, and an arched entrance below.
The church was completed on 23 November 1919, after the town council's second application for funding was approved in 1916. It was designed by Hans Jørgen Kampmann in a neoclassical style, after his father Hack Kampmann's earlier proposal was abandoned because of rising costs during World War I.
The church is dedicated to St Paul, and its Danish name Sankt Pauls Kirke reflects that. Inside, above the altar, hangs a cross made by Helga and Bent Exner, and the church is used for services and local gatherings.
The church is not open on ordinary weekdays, but you can arrange a visit by contacting the staff at the cemeteries. It stands in the town centre, so you can easily walk there from the main streets and combine it with a stroll through the surrounding area.
The tower was funded by Eva Larsen in memory of her parents, and the church's organ was built by Th. Frobenius & Sønner in 2019. A gravestone in the churchyard bears the name Jesper Zachariæ and the year 1744.
