Vår Frue Kirke
 
Vår Frue Kirke - The Church of Our Lady
 

The oldest part of this distinctive church - The Church of Our Lady - was erected in the 12th century. The victim of many fires, it was restored in 1739, but parts of the thick, solid walls of the Church are obviously much older.

The first tower of the church was built around 1640, but the current tower was built in 1742 and the spire was erected in 1779.
However, the eastern part of church (to the right in the picture) is identical to the "Church of Our Mary" from the end of the 12th century.

On the church wall you can see Runes which were etched into the stone 800 years ago.
