St Alban's Church: The English Church in the Heart of Copenhagen
Neo-Gothic English church set by Copenhagen’s Churchill Park and Kastellet, famed for its stained-glass windows, flint architecture, and tranquil atmosphere.
St Alban’s Church, known as the English Church, stands gracefully by Copenhagen's lush Churchill Park. Completed in 1887, it’s a striking example of Neo-Gothic architecture, serving as both a place of Anglican worship and a tranquil landmark for visitors. Its dramatic spire, intricate stonework, and vivid stained glass windows attract both spiritual seekers and lovers of heritage. Set by the iconic Gefion Fountain and the ramparts of Kastellet, the church offers a peaceful retreat in a vibrant urban setting.
