With its distinctive form and characteristic recesses in the brickwork, Ravnsbjerg Church is a prominent building visible from much of the neighbourhood.

The church stands like a large sculpture in red clay. Deep cuts around the bell tower and the large circular window emphasise the mass of the brickwork. The window brings daylight into the worship space, where the artist Erik Heide has created, among other elements, a cross and a pulpit in substantial timber dimensions that correspond to the roof structure.

The five-metre-wide window indicates the position of the worship space within the building and directs daylight towards the altar and pulpit. In this way, the church’s exterior form is directly connected to the space inside. The church is also part of a local setting that includes a small shopping centre and a square.

A room of brick and timber

Inside the worship space, the red brick of the façade continues on the interior walls. The clinker-tile floor, timber roof structure and boarded ceiling bring the room together and lend it a degree of warmth. The artist Erik Heide has created a cross and a pulpit in substantial timber dimensions that correspond to the roof structure.
