St. Michael's Church in Fredericia is a historic garrison church with a fascinating history. Originally built between 1665 and 1668 in half-timbered construction, it has undergone several remodelings, resulting in a neoclassical architecture.

It was originally called the "German Church" because it was intended for the many German-speaking immigrants and soldiers of the garrison.

To this day, it remains the only garrison church outside of Copenhagen,

and one of the pastors is specifically responsible for the soldiers stationed in Fredericia.

The church played a significant role during the Sortie from Fredericia on

July 6, 1849, and is subject to special regulations that define its connection

to the garrison.

In 2018, it celebrated its 350th anniversary and underwent extensive renovations to restore its original appearance.

The church was built in the 18th century and was extensively renovated to restore its original appearance. In addition to its historical significance, the church is also a center for an active community with its own gospel choir, Saint Michael Voices, and various cultural events.

The church was originally built in 1665-1668 from half-timbering. Later, several conversions were carried out and today the church is a new long building in the spirit of classicism.

Initially, the church was only called the "German Church" because it had to serve the large German immigrant population and, last but not least, the city's predominantly German-speaking garrison.

St. Michaeliskirche was a garrison church right from the start - and still is, because one of the pastors of the church is a garrison pastor and thus pastor for the soldiers on duty in Fredericia.

St. Michael's Church celebrated its 350th anniversary in 2018. For almost the whole year leading up to the anniversary, the church was closed for a thorough renovation that included both the interior and exterior of the church and the cemetery.
