History
Due the increasing population in Qaqortoq, the old church could no longer adequately serve the community, and a new church was commissioned by the Church of Denmark. The church was built from May 1972 to July 1973,[1] and was consecrated on July 8, 1973. The church is named after Gertrud Rask, the wife of missionary Hans Egede.
Construction and interior
The church was designed by architext Ole Nielsen,[2] and is made entirely of concrete, and also has a concrete altar. The motif of the altarpiece is based upon south Greenland flora.
The organ of the church is a 10 stop Frobenius from 1973.[3]
gollark: I had just mixed up `map` and `and_then` somewhere, but it was... far too hard to figure that out.
gollark: I also used `warp` in Rust once... the type errors were *horrible*. They were several lines filled with dense crazy generics.
gollark: Kind of? I mean, I find those easier to debug, possibly just due to greater exposure.
gollark: Anyway, I remember working on this, and spending most of the time on it just debugging unintuitive type errors.
gollark: I think it complained when I tried that that I should move them back to files.
