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.
