At the time of construction, the church in Klaksvík awoke much interest in creating a culturally historic foundation for a new style of Faroese architecture in that, among other things, it used native building materials, such as basalt and lumber.

The outer walls are made of basalt blocks, and the long sides of the roof frame have five unbroken gables.

It was therefore put on canvas in 1910 and placed in the National Museum of Denmark so that it could later be made available to Koch for Christian's Church.

The stained glass in the rose window was created by Danish artist Ulrikke Marseen.

From the roof beams hangs a Färöboot, an eight-person áttamannafar (a boat specific only to the Faroe Islands).

One bears witness that the church was built in commemoration of the Farese fishermen and sailors who, sailing as civilians, lost their lives at the time of the British occupation of the Faroe Islands in World War II.
