Our Saviour’s Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church
Post
Our Saviour’s Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1941. By the late 19th century, Scandinavian immigrants had arrived in South Brooklyn, finding work in local factories and along the Red Hook waterfront. In 1886, the Danish community was able to purchase two adjoining townhouses on 9th Street, which they then converted into a church and attached rectory. Our Saviour’s congregation moved to Brooklyn Heights in 1957 (it was thereafter known as the Danish Seamen’s Church). The Church sold the 9th Street sanctuary to the American Legion in 1962.
