Three Kings Church is located in Vallensbæk Landsby. It is one of two national churches in Vallensbæk Parish. The two churches are located next to each other and share a cemetery.
The church was built in 2012. It is cylindrical, with a façade in glass.
Decorations in the church include a variety of biblical quotes, selected by poet Søren Ulrik Thomsen. The crucifix is created by silversmith Allan Scharf. In 2018 a cross by Steen Christensen was placed on the plaza in front of the church. A metallic tree, made by Arne Nielsen, is located next to the church's baptismal font. Whenever someone is baptised in the church, their name is stitched onto a cloth apple and the apple hung on the tree. At a later ceremony, the apples are 'harvested' by the people baptised and their families.[1][2]
