Gertrud Rasch's Church (Danish Gertrud Rasks Kirke) is a white concrete lutheran church in Qaqortoq, the largest town in southern Greenland.
Due the increasing population in Qaqortoq, the old church could no longer adequately serve the community, and a new church was commissioned by the Church of Denmark. The church was built from May 1972 to July 1973,[1] and was consecrated on July 8, 1973. The church is named after Gertrud Rask, the wife of missionary Hans Egede.
The church was designed by architext Ole Nielsen,[2] and is made entirely of concrete, and also has a concrete altar. The motif of the altarpiece is based upon south Greenland flora.
The organ of the church is a 10 stop Frobenius from 1973.[3]
