Kirken er bygget i romansk stil af lokale frådsten, mens tårnet er yngre og bygget i mursten i senmiddelalderen (i 15??). I katolsk tid var den indviet til Sankt Laurentius.
Prædikestolen er fra tidligt i 1600-tallet, mens himlen ovenover kan dateres lidt senere til 1652, den er lavet af en træskærer fra Horsens, Peder Jensen.
Kalkmalerierne er fra slutningen af 1400-tallet. Vi ser bødlerne lægge en tornekrone på Jesus på maleriet i skibet, mens Sankt Peter er malet over alteret med nøglen ved himlens port. Ved nøglen ses en reddet sjæl, mens der er malet en sjæl under ham, som grilles i et djævlegab. Dette er meget usædvanligt.... normalt males himlens port mod nord, med djævlens gab mod syd og med Jesus imellem.
Alteret er sandsynligvis lige så gammelt som prædikestolen, men lavet på et andet træskæreværksted i renæssance-stil, sandsynligvis i Horsens af Clements Rasmussen og Laurids Povlsen. Ornamenterne er påsat i 1634. Alter-maleriet er af Anker Lund og fra 1891.
Korskranken er fra begyndelsen af 1700-tallet. De gotiske figurer er kopier fra katolsk tid af Jomfu Maria og apostlen Johannes, originalerne blev fundet på loftet i tårnet i 1926 og tilhørte sikkert et ældre alter, originalerne er i dag på Nationalmuseet.
Kirkeklokken er fra 1325-50 og er en af de ældste i landet og kirken har i dag kun manuel ringning, da automatisk ringning vil ødelægge den.
Husk en kuglepen!
ENGLISH:
The Church is build in the romantic style of local tufa stone, while the tower in bricks is younger, from the late middelages. In the Catholic time it was inaugurated to Saint Laurentius.The Pulpit is from the early sixten hundereds, while the "sky" is younger and dated to 1652 and made by a local woodcarver from Horsens. The Altarpiece is approximately as old as the pulpit but made at another workshop, probably in Horsens. It is in Renaissance style, by Clemens Rasmussen and Laurids Povlsen. The altarpiece got its ornaments in 1634. The Altarpiece has had different paintings, the present is painted by Anker Lund and is from 1891. The murals are probably from the end of the 1400. To the south we have Saint Peter by the Heavens Gate with a big key. Below the key there is painted a little soul that looks to be saved and just below him there is another soul. Below him there is painted a hell yawn represented by a devils head blowing flames in which we see a lost soul. This is unusual as heavens gates is normally painted to the north and the hell yawn on the south with Christ between them. This is the left part of the mural over the altar. In the nave we see Jesus with his excecutioners placing the crown of thornes on his head.The doors in front of the alter are form the beginning of the 1700.
The figures are Gothic (copies) from the catholic times of Virgin Merry and Johannes the apostle. The originals were found in the ceiling of the church tower in 1926. They probably belonged to an older altarpiece.... The originals are today at the National Museum in Copenhagen.The bell is from 1325-50 and one of the oldest in Denmark. It is no longer in shape to be used by automatic ... so it has to be manual operated.
Please remember to bring a pen!
