St. Alban's Church

Saint Alban's Church is a Catholic church in Odense, primarily serving the Polish, German, and Vietnamese Catholics in the area. The current Saint Alban's Church is not the medieval church where King Canute the Holy was murdered in 1086. That original church was located halfway between the present Saint Alban's Church and Odense Cathedral, which replaced the old church when it was removed around 1540. The site of the original church is marked by paving stones on Albani Torv.

The church is a neo-Gothic building with a 54-meter-high tower. It was designed by the German architect Ludwig Schneider from Breslau. The stained glass windows were created by Georg Schneider from Regensburg in Bavaria. The organ was built by the company Gebrüder Rieger from Jägerndorf in Austrian Silesia, and the wooden altarpiece was carved in 1908 by Konrad Martiner from Sankt Ulrich in Tyrol. The church's four bells were manufactured in Germany.
