Frederikshavn Church is a church, located in Frederikshavn city, consecrated on 23 October 1892.

The church was planned after the Fladstrand Church of 1686 became too small and too uncentred to serve the entire growing industrial and commercial town. It was built on the site of the Fladstrand Citadel after it became redundant following the Second Schleswig War in 1864.

Abildgård Church is located in Frederikshavn; it was built in the period from 1969-1970 by the Royal Church of Copenhagen. building inspector Leopold Teschl.

The church is architecturally significantly different from the usual Danish churches, as it is built of red bricks with different degrees of fire. Seen from the outside, the church consists of three "blocks"; one block forming the church itself (to the north/east), one forming the 13 metre high tower (to the west) and one forming the administration and teaching rooms (to the south). As the land on which the church is situated is not level, the administration building is seen from the south in both one and two levels. The church and the administration building are connected by two pavilions, and there is a small courtyard between the buildings.

Abildgård Church is located close to several residential areas, mainly inhabited by elderly people, and the church is relatively well attended.

The church organ was built by Bruno Christiansen and has 30 voices divided into three manuals and pedal.
