Nice little church with a well-kept cemetery. Elaborately restored paintings.

It was again a great experience, beautiful and interesting and intimate church, but it's hard that time has passed and the graves were blurred, it stung a little, but time passes

Vesterö Church is a beautiful and peaceful place. It costs money to enter the church so it is important to have cash with you because you cannot pay by phone unless it is a Danish phone number.

Danmark Church

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.
