Moravian Brethren Mission House, Religious building in Nuuk, Greenland
The Moravian Brethren Mission House stands in Sermersooq municipality, constructed entirely from timber materials imported from the Netherlands in the 18th century.
Constructed in 1747, this mission house served as the central base for Moravian missionaries who spread Christianity along the western coast of Greenland.
The building functioned as the main facility of Ilisimatusarfik, the University of Greenland, until 2009, contributing to regional education development.
Located on the outskirts of Nuuk, the building remains accessible for visitors interested in exploring the early European religious influence in Greenland.
The structure represents one of the earliest examples of Dutch timber construction techniques adapted for Arctic conditions in Greenland.
