Mariendal parish was disjoined from that of St. Thomas' in 1905 when the owners of the Mariendal estate, Niels and Thora Josephsen, donated the building site and most of the funds needed for constructing the church and the parish hall.

It stands on a granite plinth and a rose window and a loggia dominate the facade.

The barrel vaulted church room has a carved choir pulpit and wooden galleries in Art Nouveau style on three sides.

Knud Larsen's original altarpiece has been integrated in a new decoration of the church's choir which was carried out in 1988 by artist Mogens Jørgensen.

The altar silver is endowed with jewels from Thora Josephsen's personal jewellery.
