Vejleby kirke - Lollands kirker Traditional Cache

Vejleby kirke er lille og hvidkalket, men hævder sig til gengæld ved at ligge på en bakke ud mod Rødby fjorden.

Indenfor er kirken lys og venlig og udstyret med et alterbillede, som ifølge ”Danmarks Kirker”, muligvis er udført af en Rembrandt-elev, og en døbefont af egetræ, der også skal nævnes.

Kirken ligger umiddelbart meget øde, men engang var her en landsby, som siden er forsvundet, så nu er det en landsbykirke uden landsby.

Vejleby kirke består af romans kor og skib, gotisk vesttårn med pyramidetag og moderne våbenhus i nord. De middelalderlige dele af bygningen er opført af munkesten.

Kirkens placering nær den tidligere kystlinie er karakteristisk for denne kirke, og ses ganske fint fra syd. Desuden er der en flot landskabelig kontakt mellem Vejleby kirke og Tirsted kirke mod øst, som er meget interessant.

Før Rødby Fjord blev udtørret kunne man, og det var brugt af mange, at sejle til kirken (se kort).

Vejleby Church is small and whitewashed but gains distinction by beeing situated on a hill facing Rødby Inlet.

Inside the church is bright and pleasant, and equipped with an altarpiece which according to “Churches in Denmark” is made by one of Rembrandt`s students. The font (baptismal) made of oak wood is also very worthwhile.

Nowadays the location of the church seems very deserted, but once upon a time a village was surrounding the church. The village is long gone so now it is just a village church without a village.

Vejleby Church concists of a Romanesque choir and nave, a Gothic west-tower with a pyramidal roof, and a modern porch facing north. The midieval parts of the building is made of the big medieval bricks.

The setting of the church near the former coastline is very special, and can be seen clearly from the south. Furthermore the landscape between Vejleby Church and Tirsted Church is beautifully connecting the two churches.

Before the Rødby Inlet was drained after a big flood in 1872 many locals use to sail to church.
