A detached light-filled church at the southern end of the town towards Skibshavnen. The church, which has white walls and no tower, was designed by Ole Nielsen, who had previously designed the church in Aasiaat (1965). On the back wall hang pendant portraits of Hans Egede and his wife Gertrud Rask painted in Bergen in 1718 by an unknown artist.
