Frederik Lutheran Church

US Virgin Islands


Located near the fort, this is one of Charlotte Amalie’s architectural gems. During the 19th century the church had segregated congregations – one West Indian, the other Danish. The church is open sporadically during the week, and you can attend services on Sunday at 9am.
