St Alban's Anglican Church

St Alban's is the only Anglican (Episcopal) church in Denmark. It was constructed in 1887. It is a fine example of Victorian "Early English" Gothic architecture. After about 30 years of determination, hard work and raising funds, the church was built between 1885 and 1887. The site of the church, near the Royal Palace, was obtained with help from Princess Alexandra (1884-1925), daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark (1818-1906), and her husband Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of Britain. Prince Edward took a keen interest in the project and was Chairman of the London fund-raising committee. The Princess laid the foundation stone on September 19, 1885, accompanied by the Prince, King Christian IX and Queen Louise, the Czar and Czarina of Russia. This is probably more than you have ever wanted to know...
