[1] In 1855 pastor Niels Pedersen Grunnet founded an evangelical-Lutheran congregation in Copenhagen.

[1] The architects Alfred Jensen and August Johansen were commissioned to design a church for the congregation in the mid-1870s and a site was purchased on the east side of Vodroffsvej in Fredeirksberg.

The foundation stone was set on 18 March 1877 and the church was consecrated on 19 August that same year.

Retired American craftsmen from Laborers for Christ (Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod) assisted with the renovation as volunteers.

[3] The church is built in red brick and stands on a plinth of granite.
