House of Unitarians, Copenhagen

The House of Unitarians in Copenhagen, Denmark, is the chapel of the Danish Unitarian Church Society. It was designed by Carl Brummer and opened in 1927 on Østerbrogade, now Dag Hammerskjolds Allé. Brummer was asked to design a building which reflected the Unitarian ideals of tolerance towards other religions. He sought to achieve this by creating a building which combined elements from different monotheistic religions, such as Christianity (the original basilica shape), Jewish synagoges (two balconies) and Greek Orthodox temples (the Greek fret).[1]
