Grundtvigs Kirke

This guide to Grundtvigs Kirke in Copenhagen opens with a strange labor detail: bricklayers here were paid for just one hundred fifty bricks a day, against a standard rate eight times higher. It follows architect Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint's insistence on building a monument to hymn writer N. F. S. Grundtvig entirely by hand after winning the 1913 design competition, and the family who carried the project forward after his death in 1930. You'll also hear about the church's unlikely modern nickname, tied to an animated ogre movie DreamWorks has never confirmed had anything to do with it.
