Onsbjerg Kirke - Samsø Traditional Cache

Onsbjerg Kirke
The Church in Onsbjerg

Onsbjerg var Samsø's "hovedstad" den gang Onsbjerg kirke blev bygget, og er Samsø's ældste kirke, kun skibets sidemure er tilbage.

Onsbjerg kirke er den rigest udsmykket kirke af alle kirkerne på Samsø.

Kirken har en kopi af et fornemt forgyldt krucifiks fra 1200 tallet som har givet kirken navnet "Hellig Korskirke".
Frit efter 'Kirkerne på Samsø og Tunø'

When the church in Onsbjerg was build Onsbjerg was the “capital” of Samsoe.

The church is the oldest one on the island, but the only thing remaining of the church are the side walls of the ship.

Of all the churches on the island Onsbjerg church is the one with most decoration.

One of the decorations worth mentioning is a copy of a fine gilt crucifix from 1200’s. This item has given the church “Holy Cross Church”.
Inspired by the book 'Kirkerne på Samsø og Tunø'
