Typical Danish church. Very well-kept cemetery with a beautiful view of the water.

Bogø Church is located on Bogø . In ecclesiastical terms, Bogø Parish has been a parish in Stege-Vordingborg Provsti (Roskilde Diocese) since 1 August 1978 . Prior to the change of provost path in 1978, Bogø Parish had for 175 years, from 1803 to 1978, belonged to the Diocese of Lolland-Falster (including Falster provost paths with changing names) and even before under the Diocese of Funen. Bogø Parish has been associated with Fanefjord-Bogø Pastorate since 2005. Farø is part of Bogø Parish, whose population also includes the inhabitants of Farø. In 1754, the farms on Farø were transferred from Vordingborg Parish to Bogø Parish, but continued to pay priest tithes to the parish priest in Vordingborg. By royal rescript of 25 January 1805, it was decided that Farø's priest tithe should hereafter be paid to Bogø Sognekald. The church is a medieval longhouse church. Of the longhouse, the central part of the south wall in raw boulders is probably from Romanesque times, while the rest of the building has a late Gothic character. The other parts of the longhouse are built of monk stones and chalk blocks. Originally, the longhouse had a flat beamed ceiling. Around the time of the Reformation or perhaps later in the 16th century, the longhouse, including its eastern chancel end, was given four vaulted cross vaults. A porch to the south and the tower to the west with a south-facing staircase are both built in monk stone in late Gothic times. The upper approx. six meters of the church tower was as late as 1868 added with small bricks, so-called Flensburg stones, i.a. so that the tower could better serve as a beacon. The tower is 16.4 m high. At the Medieval Center at Nykøbing Falster , a copy of the church bell in Bogø Church has been cast in collaboration with Moesgård Museum near Aarhus . The bell was cast in India and has since been hung in a bell tower next to the reconstruction of Kippinge Church from Nordfalster.

Bogø church appears as a late Gothic longhouse building with two extensions – tower to the west and porch on the south side. The nave is largely walled with chalk. There is much evidence, however, that the western part of the longhouse hides the remains of a Romanesque ship made of boulders. The church is located in the northern part of the village, slightly set back from the road, and is not particularly visible from the village.
