Sønderborg - St Mary Church

In St Mary's Church in Sønderborg, built in 1625 and restored in this century, can be seen 17th C. wood carvings, a 1625 altar and a pulpit dating from 1559. Sønderborg also has a modern church, Christian Church; built in 1957 by the architects Esben and Kåre Klint in a Gothic style, it can be compared with Grundtvig Church in Copenhagen. The church's pride and joy is a small 14th C. crucifix.
