Danish church of Paris, Lutheran church in 8th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Danish Church of Paris is a house of worship located near the Champs-Élysées that blends Scandinavian and French architectural styles. Inside, carved wooden details and stained glass windows create a warm, decorated interior space.
The church was founded in 1903 to serve the growing Danish community in Paris and relocated to its present location near the Champs-Élysées in 1955. This move provided the community with a more central and accessible home for worship and social gatherings.
The church serves as a gathering place for Danish residents and visitors in Paris, where people maintain connections to their home country through shared faith and language. The space reflects the values and customs that matter to this community.
The building sits on a quiet side street and is easy to reach on foot if you are exploring the Champs-Élysées area. Regular services are held in both Danish and French, making the space welcoming to different visitors.
The church shares its grounds with the Maison du Danemark and houses a Frobenius organ that is played regularly during concerts. This instrument makes the place a center for Northern European music and culture in Paris.
