The community was founded by royally invited Huguenots, whose church was dedicated in 1736. The church building is shaped both inside and out by the Reformed doctrine: simplicity and harmony, with the word as the focus of church activity. Therefore the decoration is sparse and there is no altar but a communion table.
Above the old entrance to the church is a royal coat of arms, erected in gratitude for the royal family's support of the community. The Reformed Church has members inside and outside of Fredericia.

The Reformed Church in Fredericia, built in 1735, is a significant historical building. It was erected by the Reformed congregation that settled in Fredericia after King Frederick IV granted them religious freedom and economic privileges.
The church is architecturally distinct from other churches in that it lacks an altar—instead, the pulpit is the focal point, as the Reformed tradition focuses worship on the Word of God. There are also two impressive glass mosaics depicting the reformers Zwingli and Calvin.
Today, the congregation has approximately 300 members who actively participate in church and cultural events.
