A Church with a Rich Past

Built on the vision of chocolatier Fritz George Clausen, Risskov Church serves as a spiritual hub in Aarhus.

Originally a villa, the structure was repurposed in 1934 after the donation from Clausen's heirs. The design by architect Aksel Skov incorporates a beautiful glass mosaic altarpiece, adding cultural value to the site. Notably, it became a parish after the Risskov Parish separation in 1940.
