Will be received by the doorpost stone from the earliest wooden church year 11-1300.

A beautiful little church with a baptismal font running not too far from so much history

Nice place

A church lying by a stream which at the entrance of Christianity in Denmark was a natural birthplace. Rock carvings in porches testify to old residence. In the church dike is hidden the doorpost of the first wooden church, so that the former congregation still has access.

Odeon of Herodes Atticus

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by the Athenian magnate Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped theater with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof made of expensive cedar of Lebanon timber. It was used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000. It lasted intact until it was destroyed and left in ruins by the Heruli in 267 AD.

The audience stands and the orchestra (stage) were restored using Pentelic marble in the 1950s. Since then it has been the main venue of the Athens Festival, which runs from May through October each year, featuring a variety of acclaimed Greek as well as International performances.
