Great Church

A beautiful redwashed village church, which was built in the first half of the 13th century. The church is dedicated to Saint Olav (995-1030), a Norwegian Viking king who became a martyr. He can be seen on the 3-winged altarpiece from 1450, stepping on a serpent. Just outside the cemetery is also a sculpture of King Olav and the snake. It was made by wooden artist Allan Bo Jensen

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
