A beautiful and quite small church built between 1900-1901 but with interior objects that dates back to 1100 century. It’s surrounded by lush greenery (in the summer) and within walking distance from Nöbbe mosse and close to valkärra kyrka. A historical mass grave with soldiers from the battle of Lund (war between Denmark and Sweden) was found 1995 and is marked out by the side.

No transept, unlike for example the Church of St. Servatius in Maastricht, but otherwise a very good church.

La Hougue Bie

La Hougue Bie is a Neolithic ritual site which was in use around 3500 BC. Hougue is a Jèrriais/Norman language word meaning a \'mound\' and comes from the Old Norse word haugr. The site consists of 18.6m long passage chamber covered by a 12.2m high mound. The site was first excavated in 1925 by the Société Jersiaise. Fragments of twenty vase supports were found along with the scattered remains of at least eight individuals. Gravegoods, mostly pottery, were also present. At some time in the past, the site had evidently been entered and ransacked.

In Western Europe, it is one of the largest and best preserved passage graves and the most impressive and best preserved monument of Armorican Passage Grave group. Although they are termed \'passage graves\', they were ceremonial sites, whose function was more similar to churches or cathedrals, where burials were incidental.
