The Church of Our Savior is a prominent landmark in Qaqortoq and holds religious significance for the local community. The Church of Our Savior in Qaqortoq is a Lutheran church, as Christianity is the predominant religion in Greenland, with the majority of the population being members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark. The church is made of wood and has a distinctive red color, which is a common feature of many churches in Greenland. Frelserens Kirke, indviet 1832, skænket byen af Dansk Missionsselskab, er ombygget flere gange. I kirken hænger redningskransen fra M/S Hans Hedtoft, der på sin jomfrurejse fra København til Qaqortoq forliste under turen tilbage til København. Det skete i farvandet syd for Kap Farvel den 30. januar 1959. Redningskransen, der blev fundet på Island, er det eneste, der er fundet fra "Hans Hedtoft".
