It looks to me like a really nice church, but you're right, it's relatively simple and un-adorned, and as with all designs, if you see too many similar ones, too often, they become boring.
(Also your photo makes the church look particularly good; the sky has a darker tone than the building, which is always the best lighting arrangement for a bit of building porn.)

I had to to google how to translate "gavl", which is the end walls up near the roof. I'm not even sure gable is the right term
Danish churches looking boring is perhaps only fair to say when compared with the impressive old churches found all over other European nations. Old Danish churches were relatively utilitarian and modest in design.
