Højvangen Church, designed by Henning Larsen in Skanderborg, marks the opening of the first new church in Denmark in over 500 years. Unlike traditional churches, its layout emphasizes flexibility and community use, featuring a baptismal font at the center and multiple views of the surrounding landscape. Its low-profile design and brick-clad facade integrate it into the environment. Light is a vital aspect of the design, contributing to the space's spiritual atmosphere and enhancing the overall experience for diverse gatherings and services.
"At a time when more churches in Denmark are closing their doors than opening them, Henning Larsen's Højvangen Church is the first to rise in the parish in over 500 years."
"Light was a central design driver... it brings a calm, almost spiritual quality to the space, lifting the experience of the church room beyond the everyday."
