Ansgars Church

Ansgars Church

Ansgars Church (Ansgars Kirke) is a church in Odense, Denmark, within the Diocese of Funen. Completed in 1902, it was the first church built in the city since the Middle Ages. Built on granite foundation, the late Romanesque style in red brick is to a design by Niels Jacobsen. Its features include a cross-shaped interior and a spired bell-tower measuring 45 metres (148 ft). There are three mural paintings: the 1902 work is a decoration on vault rubs, the 1917 frescoes are in the parish hall, and the 1935-36 frescoes are round the altar niche.[1]
