The Grandlodge og Denmark was reconstituted november 15. 1932 in Copenhagen. Grandlodge og Denmark of Ancient Free & Accepted Masons" is working in accordance to "De Gamle Landemærker" (The Ancient Landmarks). This means among others, that: |

| Grandlodge of Denmark can be found in the entailed estate for "Tempel Ridder Ordenen" (The Templars) in Ny Kongensgade 9, Copenhagen. If you are a man and initiated as a freemason, you can visite a lodge under the Grandlodge of Denmark. |

You can write to the address for the Grandlodge of Denmark and announce your arrival, or just go to Ny Kongensgade 9. bring a proof of your degree as a freemason. If you do not carry your own outfit, it can be borrowed from the lodge. |
| The purpose of the freemasonry is to create a better world for all people and to teach every member of a lodge to be a freemason. To comply with this purpose the freemasons helps where they are able to do so and tries to improve themselves. We name ourselves freemasons because the freemason should have a mental activity free of prejudices, and because we juse symbols taken from construction of buildings to describe matters that cannot be expressed by words. To be a real freemason is an ideal, a final purpose if I may say so, that no man on earth can achieve. |
| Grandlodge of Denmark of Ancient Free & Accepted Masons allow its members to participate in higher degrees, as long as the higher degrees not claim influence on the ruling of lodges under Grandlodge og Denmark of Ancient Free & Accepted Masons.
