History
The church in Hornbæk, which people from the vicinity of Hellebæk also visited, was originally created as branch church to Tikøb Parish parish, but was later by royal decree dated 17 January 1672 created as an annex parish, and all of the priests in the 18th century were called to Tikøb and Hornbæk parishes. Despite this, the Hornbæk church building itself was not consecrated until 1737. In Hornbæk, Hellebæk chapel was later created by royal license dated 5 October 1770. This new chapel was made for people who had previously visited Sankt Mariæ parish in Helsingør even though they were supposed to attend the Tikøb chapelry. From 1682 to 1743 there was made a special baptism book for Hornbæk church and from 1812/1813 special church books were made for Hornbæk and Hellebæk's borders were set by royal decree dated 29 October 1887 when each became their own chapelry. This was changed by royal decreed of 12 August 1889.

In 1711, Tikøb parish which included the future Hornbæk and Hellebæk parishes was struck by the bubonic plague. The Last Plague in the Baltic Region 1709-1713 part IV chapter 2 deals is titled "The plague in Tikøb" and is entirely dedicated to how the plague affected these three parishes. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has a copy of this book. The call number is 940 H2fk.
