Ever noticed the striking blue gable as you approached Skjoldhøj Kirke? It is not just a colour. It is a statement. Welcome to Skjoldhøj Kirke in Brabrand. This is a unique house of worship.

Skjoldhøj Kirke was built in 1984. The Aarhus architectural firm Friis and Moltke won the architectural competition in 1981. Their design became this iconic church.

The church is known for its large sky-blue gable. It faces both east and west. Whitewashed facades add to its distinctive look inside and out.

Landscape architect Sven Hansen designed the surrounding haven and Kirkegården. Emil Gregersen and silversmith Børge Poulsen contributed to the church’s decorations. Lena Rude Jensen created several artworks for the space. The textile artists Inge-Lise and Flemming Bau crafted the Messehageler. The church organ was built in 1984. Bruno Kristensen and Sønner were the organ builders.

Skjoldhøj Kirke is located on Jernaldervej. The parish has nearly 8000 residents. About 80% are members of the Church of Denmark. The parish includes addresses in 8210 Aarhus V and 8381 Tilst.

Skjoldhøj Kirke was created from Brabrand Sogn in 1984. It is part of Skjoldhøj Pastorat. Also it is part of Aarhus Vestre Provsti and Aarhus Stift.
