Humlebæk Church

A group of residents from Asminderød, Grønholt and Fredensborg starting working for a new church in Humlebæk in 1866.

Ballet master August Bournonville was a member of the committee and chamberlain C. Brun from Krogerup provided a piece of land and also contributed financially to the project.

The foundation stone was set on 13 June 1868 in the presence of Christian IX and the completed church was already inaugurated on 20 December the same year.

A glass mosaic by Sven Havsteen Mikkelsen representing the battle of light against darkness is located behind the altar.

The votive ship, a 12-gun naval brig, was donated to the church by fisherman and diver Jens Jensen in connection with its inauguration in 1868.
