The church of Saeul was first mentioned in 1318. The Romanesque architecture goes back to the 12th century. The renovation of the 1960 strengthens the formal structure with great simplicity. Some decorations are kept on the apsis. The remnants point out that the interior was once decorated by a pelt and even a painted façade. The spire was built in 1733. The cemetery was laid around the church. Some funeral monuments realized by local artist of the baroque era are kept as cultural heritage.
References: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.
