Nice atmosphere. Repair work is currently underway. The church is in dire need of funding. Nice women from the staff helped us figure out what was what at the entrance....

A two-story church. The lower small church is used in winter and the upper large church in summer. A very beautiful church song!

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.
