Om kirken/About the church

Dansk

Siden Middelalderen har der på den holm, hvorpå Hørsholm Kirke er beliggende, været placeret forskellige borg- og slotsanlæg -i 1200-tallet i privat eje og fra 1382 i Kronens eje.

Det mest kendte slotsanlæg er Hirschholm Slot tegnet af hofarkitekten Lauritz de Thurah (1706-59) og taget i brug i 1739 under Christian VI og dronning Sofie Magdalene. Slottet var et stort trefløjet barokanlæg.

Under Christian VII blev slottet specielt i sommeren 1771 rammen om et blomstrende hofliv omkring dronning Caroline Mathilde og kongens livlæge Johann Friedrich Struensee (1737- 72). Deres datter Louise Augusta, der blev født denne sommer, blev døbt i Slotskapellet.

Efter Struensee's fald og Caroline Mathildes forvisning til Celle i Tyskland forfaldt slottet, da kongefamilien ikke længere ønskede at bebo det. Slotskapellet fik byens få indbyggere lov at bruge, ellers var nærmeste kirke Birkerød Kirke.

Frederik VI havde bitre barndomsminder fra Hirschholm. Derfor dømte han slottet til nedrivning og bestemte, at materialerne skulle benyttes i forbindelse med genopførelsen af Christiansborg Slot, der var brændt 1794.

Da man i 1810-12 nedbrød Hirschholm Slot lod man den sydøstlige pavillon, der rummede slotskapellet blive stående til fortsat brug for menigheden. I 1813 gennemførtes en nødtørftig istandsættelse, som viste sig helt utilstrækkelig og i 1816 blev der bevilget ca. 20.000 daler til en hovedreparation.

Hovedreparationen blev imidlertid aldrig igangsat, idet C.F.Hansen meddeler, at det ikke kan betale sig at reparere kirkepavillonen. Han mener, " at når man benyttede de i pavillonen værende bygningsmaterialer og kirkens indvendige ornamenter; ville man for den bevilgede sum kunne bygge en lille og for menigheden passende ny kirke, hvis vedligeholdelse den kunne bestride. " 

Christian Frederik Hansen blev født 29.februar 1756 som søn af en fattig skomager og optaget som 10-årig på Kunstakademiet. Elev af C.F.Harsdo 1 fj: 1784-1800 landbygmester i Altona, Holsten. Arkitekturprofessor fra 1808. Kunstakademiets direktør 1811-18,1821-27 og 1830-33. Han døde i 1845.

C.F.Hansen udarbejdede 3 forslag til en ny kirke, som alle viser bygninger, der er større end slotskapellet. Det blev projekt m. 2- valgt af Frederik VI -som kom til at danne grundlag for det endelige projekt; et projekt som i plan og ydre er stærkt påvirket af arkitektens arbejde med Vor Frue Kirke i København, men i høj grad tilpasset Statens anstrengte økonomi.

Byggeriet indledtes i efteråret 1820, og den 21.september 1823 kunne Hørsholm Kirke indvies.

Since the Middle Ages, various castles and palaces have been located on the islet on which Hørsholm Church is located - in the 13th century in private ownership and from 1382 in the ownership of the crown.

The most famous castle complex is Hirschholm Castle designed by the court architect Lauritz de Thurah (1706-59) and taken into use in 1739 under Christian VI and Queen Sofie Magdalene. The castle was a large three-winged baroque structure.

During Christian VII, the castle became especially in the summer of 1771 the setting for a flourishing court life around Queen Caroline Mathilde and the king's physician Johann Friedrich Struensee (1737-72). Their daughter Louise Augusta, who was born this summer, was baptized in the Castle Chapel.

After Struensee's fall and Caroline Mathilde's deportation to Celle in Germany, the castle fell into disrepair as the royal family no longer wanted to inhabit it. The castle chapel was allowed to be used by the town's few inhabitants, otherwise, the nearest church was Birkerød Church.

Frederik VI had bitter childhood memories from Hirschholm. Therefore, he sentenced the castle to demolition and decided that the materials should be used in connection with the reconstruction of Christiansborg Castle, which was burned in 1794.

When Hirschholm Castle was demolished in 1810-12, the south-eastern pavilion that housed the castle chapel was left standing for continued use by the congregation. In 1813 a needy renovation was carried out, which proved to be completely inadequate, and in 1816 approx. 20,000 "daler". For a major repair.

However, the main repair was never initiated, as C.F.Hansen announced that it is not worth repairing the church pavilion. He believes, "that if one used the building materials present in the pavilion and the interior ornament of the church; one would be able to build a small and suitable congregation for the congregation for the granted sum, the maintenance of which it could contest."

Christian Frederik Hansen was born on February 29, 1756, as the son of a poor shoemaker and admitted as a 10-year-old to the Academy of Fine Arts. Student of C.F.Harsdo1fj: 1784-1800 farmer in Altona, Holstein. Professor of Architecture from 1808. Director of the Academy of Fine Arts 1811-18, 1821-27, and 1830-33. He died in 1845.

C.F.Hansen prepared 3 proposals for a new church, all of which show buildings larger than the castle chapel. It was project m. 2- chosen by Frederik VI - which came to form the basis for the final project; a project which in plan and exterior is strongly influenced by the architect's work with Our Lady's Church in Copenhagen, but largely adapted to the State's strained finances.

Construction began in the autumn of 1820, and on September 21, 1823, Hørsholm Church could be consecrated.
