Christiansfeld (DK)

Christiansfeld is a small town (2,935 inhabitants in 2017) in Kolding Municipality (since 2007) in Southern Jutland in Region of Southern Denmark. The town was founded in 1773 by the Moravian Church and named after the Danish king Christian VII. In 1864, Christiansfeld and the rest of Schleswig was ceded to Prussia as a result of Denmark's defeat in the Second Schleswig War. It remained a part of Germany until 1920 when, as a part of a plebiscite called for by the Treaty of Versailles, Northern Schleswig voted to rejoin Denmark. Since July 2015 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
