Sct. Jørgens Church
North of the town center you will find the whitewashed church with a tiled roof.
The church was built in 1903–04 by architect N. Jacobsen as a Free Congregation church. It was not affiliated with the Danish National Church until 1923, and the parish council took ownership in 1948. An extension was added in 1988 by architect E. Lehn Petersen.
The church has 150 seats and is popularly known as “æ lille kirk” (“the little church”).
