Sct Lukas kirke Traditional Cache

Arkitekt: Valdemar Koch

Sct. Lukas Kirke er den første kirke, der blev opført til aflastning af Frederiksberg sogn, som i 1800-tallets slutning talte 60.000 mennesker.

Kirken blev bygget efter de nyeste tanker om, at en kirke ikke blot var til søndagsgudstjenester og kirkelige handlinger, men også skulle indeholde lokaler, som kunne bruges ugen rundt af menigheden. Den er opført i romansk stil med relieffer af Th. Bærentzen.

I 1994 blev våbenhuset udvidet ved arkitekt Per Gents. Kirkerummet er dekoreret med ‘paradisblomster’, som genfindes i alle Kochs kirker i København: Kapernaums-, Apostel-, Sions- og Kristkirken. Altertavlen, ‘Jesus, der åbenbarer sig for disciplene’, er malet af Frans Schwartz.
Rundt om indgangsdøren ses en gentagelse af Joakim Skovgaards bebudelsesscene fra Helligåndskirken, et relief af Th. Bærentzen: ‘Den lidende menneskehed’ og et krucifiks i moseeg af Johannes Kragh. På væggene over vinduerne flagrer engle med citater fra Lukasevangeliet, malet af Carl Budtz Møller i 1910.

St Luke’s Church is the first church built to relieve the pressure on the parish of Frederiksberg, which in the late 1800s counted about 60,000 people.

The church was built after the new concept that a church was not only for the Sunday sermons and relegious ceremonies, but also a place with rooms to be used during the week by the parishioners. It is built in Roman style with reliefs of Th. Bærentzen.
In 1994 the porch was enlarged by architect Per Gents. The church room is decorated with “paradise flowers”, which are to be found in all Koch’s churches in Copenhagen: Kapernaum, Apostel, Sion, and Krist. The altarpiece ‘Christ who reveals himself to his disciples’ is painted by Frans Schwartz.

Round the entrance doors you see a repetition of Joakim Skovgaard’s annunciation scene from the church Helligåndskirken, as well as a relief by Th. Bærentzen ‘The Suffering Mankind’, and a crucifix made of bog oak by Johannes Kragh. On the walls over the windows angels flutter with citations from the St Luke, painted by Carl Budtz Møller in 1910
