In Denmark, a thoughtful reimagining of church architecture is taking shape, challenging traditional notions of religious spaces. Currently under construction and the first new church to be built in Copenhagen in 30 years, restad Church exemplifies this trend. It's designed not just as a house of worship but as an inclusive gathering space that welcomes all neighborhood residents. A flexible interior, free from fixed furniture and hierarchical elements like raised pulpits, facilitates community activities like yoga classes and concerts. It creates a more egalitarian environment for religious ceremonies, too. As Eva Ravnborg, a partner at Henning Larsen architects, told Monocle: "The priest will be able to preach from any corner of the building. They will do this at eye level, instead of raised above the congregation."At restad, timber construction and a facade made from tree scraps create an atmosphere reminiscent of a forest clearing, while deep-set walls form welcoming niches for casual gatherings. These design choices, using materials and design elements that feel warm and familiar to everyone. That focus on creating a welcoming, low-barrier space reflects a larger cultural shift in Denmark, where religious buildings are being reimagined as vital community assets that will remain relevant for decades to come. By incorporating spaces for shared meals, cultural events and quiet reflection, the churches can serve as bridges between spiritual practice and everyday community life.
