The Catholic church in Denmark (where the state church is Lutheran) and its overseas territories has no ecclesiastical province nor belongs to any (all sees being exempt, i.e. directly subject to the Holy See), nor has a national episcopal conference, but the -entirely Latin- Danish episcopate partakes in the Episcopal conference of Scandinavia. It comprises only :
the only proper see, a full bishopric in the national capital
two missionary pre-diocesan territorial prelatures.
The Eastern Catholics are pastorally served by a transnational apostolic exarchate from Germany.
There formally is also an Apostolic Nunciature to Denmark, as papal embassy-level diplomatic representation. However, it is vested in the Apostolic Nunciature to Sweden (in Djursholm), as are the nunciatures to Norway, Finland and Iceland, covering the Nordic countries.
