Summary
Built between 1899 and 1915 in Kronborg, the St. Johannes Danske Lutherske Kirke is significant for its representation of a religious grouping of Danish-American buildings in Nebraska, and for its associations with the folk school philosophies of the Danish religious leader, poet, and historian N. F. S. Grundtvig. Many of the activities held in the church and gymnasium hall/school centered on the Grundtvigian teachings. The property is also significant for its instrumental role in the establishment and early development of a Danish-American community in the state. The church and its associated buildings played an important role in the religious beliefs, cultural traditions, and social activities practiced by Danish immigrants in the Kronborg community beginning in the late nineteenth century.
