Hans Egedes Kirke

Architect Ole Nielsen, who had already designed the church in Aasiaat in 1965, consecrated Hans Egede Church in 1971 to mark the 250th anniversary of missionary Hans Egede's arrival in Greenland to found a Lutheran mission among the Inuit population. Standing on high ground at the centre of Nuuk with white walls and a dark tower, the church holds Greenland's only carillon alongside a 10-stop Frobenius organ installed the same year it was consecrated.
