History
The church was built from 1900 to 1902 to the design of Carl Lendorf. It was consecrated on 9 November 1902 at a ceremony attended by Bishop Kultus Minister J. C. Christensen.
The area was still quite undeveloped on its completion but the surrounding buildings were built from 1903 to 1904 according to a symmetrical plan by Andreas Clemmensen.
Architecture
The church is a cruciform church built in red brick with inspiration from Byzantine and Romanesque architecture.
Over the main portal there is a mosaic by Oscar Willerup depicting Saint Mark the Evangelist with a quill and a winged lion, his symbol.
In popular culture
The church is used as a location in the 2003 comedy Se til venstre, der er en svensker.
