Mariendals kirke - Frederiksberg kirker Traditional Geocache

Arkitekt - Thorvald Jørgensen

Mariendals sogn blev udskilt fra Sankt Thomas sogn 1905. Ejerne af gården ‘Mariendal’, Niels og Thora Josephsen, skænkede byggegrund og størstedelen af pengene til kirkens og menighedshusets opførelse. – Nitivej er dannet af ægteparrets initialer, ‘NJTJ’. Kirkefondet rejste en midlertidig kirke i kokolith (taver fra kokosnød og gips), som 1908 ‘vandrede’ videre til et nyt kirkeprojekt.

Den nuværende Mariendals Kirke er bygget i en historicerende stil med granitsokkel, vinduesrose og loggia. Kirkerummet, der dækkes af et tøndehvælv, har udskåren korskranke og træpulpiturer i skønvirkestil langs de tre af rummets sider. I en gravhvxlving under koret hviler Niels og Thora Josephsen. Knud Larsens oprindelige alterbillede indgår i en ny total-udsmykning af kirkens korparti fra 1988 ved maleren Mogens Jørgensen. Døbefonten af Siegfried Wagner er i granit med bronzebeslag. Altersølvet er udstyret med juveler fra Thora Josephsens smykker.

Mariendal parish was separated from Sankt Thomas parish in 1905. The owners of the farm "Mariendal", Niels and Thora Josephsen, donated the building site and the majority of the money for the construction of the church and the parish hall. – The street name “Nitivej” was created using the couple's initials, "NJTJ". The church fund trust build a temporary church in cocolith (fibers from coconut and plaster), which in 1908 "hiked" on to a new church project.

The present Mariendals Church is built in a history creating style with a granite plinth, window rose and loggia. The church room, covered by a barrel vault, has a carved choir pulpit and wooden pulpits in “skønvirke”-style (Danish form of Art Nouveau) along three of the sides of the room. In a vault under the choir rests the remains of Niels and Thora Josephsen. Knud Larsen's original altarpiece is included in a new complete-decoration of the church's choir from 1988 by artist Mogens Jørgensen. The baptizmal font by Siegfried Wagner is in granite with bronze-plate. The Altar silver is endowed with jewels from Thora Josephsen's jewellery.
