In Denmark, a parish ( Danish: ''sogn'', plural ''sogne'') is a local ecclesiastical unit in the Church of Denmark. Each parish is assigned to a physical church, and the church's administration (''sognekontor'') handles the area's civic registration of births, marriages and deaths. Each Danish municipality is composed of one or more parishes.
