Very very beautiful little church with good sound. But at funerals, there is probably not much room for those who have to lift the coffin. Perhaps a "dog" specially made for chests would solve the problem.

Beautiful church. It's a small one, but I've loved it my entire life. There's just something about it

Jyllinge Kirke ligger ud til Roskilde Fjord 12 km nord for Roskilde. Den romanske kirke er bevaret i sin oprindelige udstrækning med apsis, kor og skib bygget af rå og delvis kløvede kampesten og med hjørner af granitkvadre. Der er tre gotiske tilbygninger, tårn, våbenhus og kapel. Prædikestolen fra 1618 er fra Brix Snedker i Roskilde. Døbefonten af granit er middelalderlig. Jyllinge Kirke hørte i middelalderen under Æbelholt Kloster, som var efterfølgeren efter det kloster, der indtil 1175 lå på Eskildsø. Den munk eller præst der var bestyrer på klosterets ladegård på Eskildsø forretede gudstjenesten. Efter reformationen kom Kirken i kongens eje og den lå under Roskildegård. I 1687 solgtes den. Jyllinge Kirke med annekskirken Gundsømagle kom i 1763 til Hegnstrupgård. Her blev de til de overgik til selveje i 1920.

Vufflens Castle

Vufflens castle was built in 1425 on the site of a previous medieval castle by Henri de Colombier. It is the most significant example of a small group of fortified Romandy castles from the middle ages, characterised above all by its brick construction. In 1530, it was set on fire by Bernese troops. In 1641 it was acquired by the de Senarclens family. The castle is currently privately owned and cannot be visited.

A pleasant 30 minute-walk through the vineyards between Vufflens-le-Château and Denens, offers a stunning view of this magnificent castle, the lake and the Mont-Blanc.
