该项目位于丹麦哥本哈根以西50公里的Sdr. Asmindrup，是一座拥有900年历史的乡村教堂。改造后的教堂将展示如何使历史的教堂空间适应现代社会生活。Vipperød教区和Arkitema建筑事务所希望通过该项目创造出一个能够以现代化方式向大众传递基督教文化的场所。

The 900-year-old village church in Sdr. Asmindrup, 50 km west of Copenhagen, Denmark, has been reinvented and will serve as an example of how the church space can be brought into the present. The local church council of Vipperød parish and Arkitema Architects aim to create a space that conveys the Christian message to modern people in a more contemporary layout.

改造这样一个和丹麦大多数教堂一样，拥有传统空间布局的空间是一项艰巨的工作。发展至今，Sdr. Asmindrup仍保留着高坛祭台及沉重的深色家具。讲道台位于中殿的右侧，但很快会被拆除。当地的教堂理事会和神职人员希望在这个900年历史的教堂中，创造出“干净”且灵动的空间，使他们在包容的环境中与公众对话，提供新颖的教会服务。

It is a big job changing the layout of a church that has very traditional shapes, like most churches in Denmark. Until recently, Sdr. Asmindrup Church featured a larger altar and altarpiece in the chancel, and a lot of heavy, dark furniture. The pulpit still hangs on the right side of the nave, but it will soon be taken down. The local church council and the clergy want to create a ‘clean’ and flexible space in the 900-year-old church for innovative services in settings that encourage dialogue, co-ownership, and inclusion.

Sdr. Asmindrup教堂的改造策略是将其看作是一个试验性项目，使其成为该教区及霍尔拜克（Holbæk）教区的礼仪示范点。教堂与当地剧院达成合作，提供一些戏剧服务。这样一来，这间拥有900年历史的乡村教堂也将成为社区中又一宁静同时充满惊喜的集散场所。

The very idea behind the refurbishment of the church space in Sdr. Asmindrup is that the church should act as a liturgical lab in the parish and in Holbæk deanery. Cooperation with the local theatre on, e.g., theatrical services has already been agreed, so the 900-year-old village church will provide a place for both concentration and serenity, and for surprises and new communities.

这个乡村教堂的改造项目得到了罗斯基勒主教的支持。教堂中原有的大部分设备及家具，包括所有的皮凳，讲台和祭坛都被拆除。对教徒来说，教堂变成了一个明亮，温暖且充满活力的空间，拥有未来无限的可能。教堂门廊的入口处摆放着轻便可移动的共享桌。灵活且美观的家具彰显出空间的创新性，成为功能更为多元化的教堂。

This wish was backed by the bishop in Roskilde, resulting in large changes to the small village church: Much of the equipment and furniture was removed, including all pews, the pulpit, and the altarpiece. Replacing it is a bright, warm, and vibrant space that is recognizable to regular churchgoers, but offers new opportunities for the future. A new, light Communion table, which can easily be moved, is located right at the entrance from the porch. The flexibility and aesthetics of the furniture highlight the innovation of the space functions, encouraging a much more versatile use of the church than before.
