They are incredibly creative when laying grave flowers after burial.

Falkerslev Church is located on a flat terrain a little north of Falkerslev village. The whitewashed church, which consists of a Romanesque choir and a ship with a Gothic west tower and porch from 1862 at the west end of the tower. The choir is built entirely of chalk squares on a sloping shelf. The ship is built of monk stone, probably a little later than the choir. The tower is erected in the late Gothic period by monk stones and boulders. The altarpiece is a painting from 1845, The Baptism of Jesus, by August Thomsen. The barrel-shaped baptismal font of granite is Romanesque. The pulpit was carved in 1640 by Jørgen Ringnis.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
