Fagerborg Church

Fagerborg Church is a three-aisled brick structure with granite joints that blends Gothic and Art Nouveau design elements. The building accommodates roughly 480 people and contains an organ with 54 voices and more than 2700 pipes.

Construction began in 1901 and was completed in 1903, when Bishop Anton Christian Bang consecrated it on December 22. The building resulted from an architectural competition with 54 entries, won by Hagbarth Martin Schytte-Berg.

The interior showcases artistic details such as stained glass windows by Max Roth from Budapest and intricately carved details on the pulpit and altar. These elements shape the experience when entering the space and reflect the craftsmanship invested in the design.

The space is well organized and easy to enter. Visitors should dress respectfully and move quietly since it remains an active place of worship.

The organ was built only in 2007 by Orgelbau Goll, replacing the original pipes. This relatively modern instrument brought contemporary acoustics into a space over 100 years old.
