Halk Church

Halk church is a whitewashed church with a lead covered roof, which consists of a Romanesque choir and nave. Later, an expansion towards the west was added, as well as a sacristy, weaponhouse, chapel and an east facing tower, which is rarely seen.

The alter tablet is a beautiful combination of parts from a late-gothic alter tablet, which has been inserted into a late-renaissance frame from around 1640.

The church has an unusually large amount of fixtures from the Middle Ages, including beautiful sitting Mary with child from ca. 1275. There is also a crucifix from the same era, with side figures, where Mary is original, while John is from the 1400s. A canopy tablet with the crowned and blessing Christ dates from ca. 1400.  A processional crucifix is from the first quarter of the 1500s.
