History

Islands Brygge Parish was disjoined from Christianshavn Parish on 20 December 1915. A temporary church hall, the current congregation hall (''Menighedssal''), was inaugurated that same year. The current church was designed by Fredrik Appel and Kristen Gording. The foundation stone was set on 27 May 1923 and the church was inaugurated on 30 November 1924. The tower was not built until 1936.

Architecture

The church is built in red brick. The interior stands in white-washed brick.

Culture

Hans Tausen's church facilitates the use of its infrastructure to cultural groups such as the Chamber Choir Musica.
