Church of Our Saviour (Annaassisitta Oqaluffia), Nuuk

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of the Redeemer (Grönl. Annaassisitta Oqaluffia, Danish. Vor Frelser kirke) is the most famous church building in the Greenland capital Nuuk. The building is a landmark and is located in the colonial harbor, the oldest part of Nuuk. It was built from 1848 and consecrated by Carl Janssen on April 6, 1849. A dome was replaced by the current tower in 1884. The building replaced a church from 1758. Since 1994 the red wooden church has been the Protestant cathedral of the partially autonomous diocese of Greenland of the Danish People's Church.

The organ with ten registers on two manuals and pedal comes from Marcussen & Søn and was installed in 1970. Two brass candlesticks are a gift from the Church of Norway. Inside the church there is a painting by Carl Rasmussen and a marble relief. A little above the church is a statue of Hans Egede. There is a monument to Jonathan Petersen right in front of it.
