New Tiny Church Opens in Copenhagen's Growing District
In Copenhagen, Denmark, a new, small church has opened.
It's made of wood and has twelve sides, one for each of Jesus' helpers.
The church is part of a bigger church and was built because the city is getting bigger and needs more places for people to gather.
They built the city first, and then realized they needed a church, which is a little different from how things used to be.
The new church is designed to create a sense of community for the people who live there.
A 12-sided wooden church, 'Denmark's First Tiny Church,' was unveiled in Copenhagen.
The church is an outpost of the Evangelical-Lutheran Hans Egedes Church.
The construction is 76 square meters in size.
The church's construction was prompted by the expected population growth in Copenhagen.
The project manager noted the reversed order of community and city-building in modern times.
