Skagen Church

Skagen Church

Skagen Church (Danish: Skagen Kirke) is a church located in the historic town centre of Skagen, Denmark.
The Skagen area suered from severe problems with sand
drift up through the 18th century and in 1795 the sand
covered old church had to be abandoned. It was a brick
church of considerable size dedicated to Saint Lawrence
which dated from the beginning of the 15th century and
located 2 km south-west of the town centre.[1]
A new church was built in 1841 to the design of Christian
Frederik Hansen. The design was adapted in 1909-10
by Ulrik Plesner who also designed a number of other
buildings in Skagen. Plesner collaborated with Thorvald
Bindesbll on the interior. Anne L. Hansen created interior decorations and a new colour scheme in 1989.[1]
