The Church in Denmark

Welcome to the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Denmark

The Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Denmark, also called folkekirken, plays a very important role in Denmark's history and identity. 75 percent of the population are members of the church, and it is deeply rooted in Danish society and culture.
