Barløse Church
Description
Barløse Church is located in the southern part of the village of Barløse, about 8 km northeast of Assens in southern Denmark. It is a Romanesque church built of dressed granite blocks and monk bricks, dating from the late 12th century.
The church consists of a nave and chancel forming a single space, with a west tower and a north porch. Parts of an earlier Romanesque church were demolished and reused in later construction. Traces of the original north door remain, as well as foundation stones from a former apse at the east end. The altar area is raised by three steps, and the gables are decorated with blind arches.
The tower features blind gables and a stairway to the bell chamber, with a Renaissance wooden dormer housing the bell. The tower and nave are vaulted, while the porch has a flat plastered ceiling. The altarpiece is a painting depicting Jesus with Martha and Mary.
