GODTHAABSKIRKEN - 1911

Arkitekt - Gotfred Tvede

Hvor Aksel Møllers Have ligger i dag, lod Det Classenske Fideikommis i 1866 opføre 24 langhuse med lejligheder til 324 fattige familier. 1880 blev ‘Classerkirken’, en lille rødstensbygning med tårn, indviet som kirke for beboerne. Fideikommiset afhændede 1909 området til Kommunen og gav 75.000 kr. til opførelse af en ny kirke på en grund, skænket af proprietær H.I. Nyeland. Fra Godthaabs sogns oprettelse 1909 til den nye kirke kunne indvies 1911 anvendtes ‘Classer-kirken’ som sognekirke.

Godthaabskirken er opført i middelalderlige stilformer og orienteret med kor i syd. En tværfløj rummer bLa. en menighedssal, der kan åbnes mod kirkerummet. Det hvidkalkede kirkerum med pulpitur i nord dækkes af et pudset tøndehvælv af træ. Over keramikalteret, der er udført af Herman Kahler, ses ‘Korsfæstelsen’ omgivet af engle modelleret i kalkstuk af billedhugger Carl Mortensen.

GODTHAABS CHURCH - 1911

Architect - Gotfred Tvede

Where Aksel Møllers Gardens is located today, the Classenske Fideikommis built 24 houses in 1866 with apartments for 324 poor families. In 1880 the 'Classerkirken' or the 'Classerchurch', a small brownstone church with a steeple, was consecrated and opened to the public. In 1909, the Classenske Fideikommis sold this area to the municipality and paid 75.000 DKK for the construction of a new church on a nearby plot, bestowed by landowner H. I. Nyeland. When the plans for the new church were made, the Godthaab parish was established in 1909 and used the Classerchurch as a temporary place of worship.

The new church, named the Godthaabschurch, was erected in the architectural style of the late middle ages and constructed with the altar facing south and the pulpit to the north. One wing contains, amongst other things, a parish hall, which can be opened to the whitewashed nave, the main space of the church, which is covered by a finely polished barrel-vaulted ceiling. Above the ceramic altar, sculpted by Herman Kahler, is placed a lime stucco depiction of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ surrounded by angels by the sculptor Carl Mortensen.
