What to expect
Østerlars Church is a historic building and one of Denmark's oldest Romanesque churches, located on the island of Bornholm. It is the largest and possibly the oldest of the island's four round churches. The church features a unique round nave with a large hollow column, an apse, and an oval chancel. The central column is decorated with frescos from 1350, showing biblical scenes. The church also has a separate bell tower and two runestones, one inside the porch and another outside. Visitors can explore the church's architecture, history, and decorations, making it a great place to visit with family and friends

Highlights: We found the round churches architecturally interesting. "Their walls are thick and defensive, even though no warlike missions are known." ✨
