St. Alban's Church (Danish: Sankt Albani Kirke) is the Roman Catholic parish church of Odense. The foundation stone for the neo-Gothic style church was laid on October 21, 1906, and on October 25, 1908, the unfinished building was consecrated and dedicated to Our Lady, Saint Alban and Saint Canute.
The building was designed by the German architect Ludwig Schneider from Breslau. The glass pictures were created by Georg Schneider from Regensburg in Bavaria. The organ comes from the company Gebrüder Rieger from Jägerndorf in Austria-Silesia and the altarpiece was created in 1908 by Konrad Martiner from Sankt Ulrich in Tirol.
The church was and is a contact point for immigrants, mostly Germans and Poles, and in recent years more and more Vietnamese Catholics.

St. Albani's Church is the Catholic church in Odense, serving primarily immigrants from Poland and Germany, but also a large group of Vietnamese Catholics living here. The present-day Albani's Church is not the medieval church where King Canute was assassinated in 1086.
This church was located halfway between the present-day St. Albani's Church
and Odense Cathedral, which replaced the old church when it was demolished around 1540.

The church is a neo-Gothic church with a 54-meter-high tower. The building
was designed by German architect Ludwig Schneider from Breslau.
The stained glass windows were created by Georg Schneider from Regensburg in Bavaria.
The organ was built by the Rieger brothers from Jägerndorf in Austrian Silesia, and the altarpiece, which is carved from wood, was created in 1908 by Konrad Martiner
from Sankt Ulrich in Tirol. The church's 4 bells were made in Germany.
