Sankt Knuds Kirke, located in Knudsker on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, is a historically significant church with roots tracing back to the medieval period. The current church building, which reflects a blend of traditional and modern architectural elements, serves as an important religious and cultural landmark in the area. The church is named after Saint Canute (Knud), a revered Danish king and martyr, and it continues to play an active role in the local community's spiritual life.
The organ at Sankt Knuds Kirke was built by the renowned Danish organ building company T. Frobenius & Co around 1955. This Neo-Baroque instrument features 7 stops, one manual, and a pedalboard, with a mechanical tracker action known for its relatively tough key action. This design is similar to the Frobenius organ in Rø Kirke, but with a notable difference: the Knudsker organ includes a swell system on the facade, adding to its expressive capabilities. The organ's design and sound are well-suited for both liturgical use and concert settings, offering a rich tonal palette that enhances the church's acoustics.
