Danish Seamen's Church and Church Abroad

The Danish Seamen’s Church and Church Abroad (Danish Danske Sømands- og Udlandskirker) is a Protestant church. It was founded 1 January 2004 as the result of a fusion between the Danish Church Abroad and the Danish Seamen's Church in foreign ports. It was established to help Danes travelling abroad, particularly seafarers and migrant workers.
