Nordic House and Danish Church

The first Danish Church was built in Osborne Street in 1871 to serve the spiritual and community needs of both Danes and other resident Scandinavians. It was also used by many northern Europeans on their way to the 'Promised Land' across the Atlantic. On May 9, 1941, a devastating air raid completely flattened the building. However, with increasing trade and numbers of Danes coming to and living in Hull after the War, a new Church was built in 1954 with some items rescued from the old Church. One of these items being a seven branched candelabra which is now on the altar. More contemporary features include fine wooden panelling and ceiling lights which are also worthy of note.

The church also has quite a collection of model ships on display for visitors to enjoy. There will be a historical exhibition about the Danish Seaman’s Church in Hull. Visitors will also have the chance to taste Danish foods and buy Danish goods.
