S.Skjødt-Ladefoged: Lukkes efter ønske fra menighedsrådet, da nogle har kravlet på kirkegårdsmuren i stedet for at bruge lågerne ind til kirkegården.

Geocache Description:


Lyngby Kirke er den største af Grenaa-egnens kridtstenskirker. I dag fremtræder kirken som en gotisk langhuskirke. Såvel tårn som våbenhus har kamtakkede gavle, og koret er af samme højde og bredde som skibet. Men bl.a. den rundbuede søjlefrise, som vi genfinder på kirkens sidemure, og et lille afblændet romansk vindue vidner om, at de oprindelige dele af kirken er langt ældre.

De skriver sig helt tilbage til omkring år 1200.
Sagnet om Lyngby Kirke beretter, at det var en adelsfrøken, som lod kirken opføre. Hun havde imidlertid en søster, som i jalousi over denne ærefulde opgave svor, at hun ville omgive kirken med en mur, som skulle blive dyrere end selve kirken. Som sagt, så gjort: Hun byggede en mur omkring kirkegården af så vældige dimensioner, at den blev netop 2 skilling dyrere end kirken.

Sandhed eller ej, så ligger kirken der, og stadig er der mod syd og vest bevaret det gamle kirkedige. Skulle man betvivle, at det har været dyrere end kirken, må man betænke, dels at denne oprindelig var mindre, uden tårn, våbenhus og sakristi, den var lavere end nu, ligesom koret har været lavere og smallere end skibet - dels har kirkegårdsmuren indtil 1854 været dobbelt så høj som nu, sine steder 3,8 m høj og 1,7 m bred. Endnu i 1862 ved man at fortælle, at de to søstre skulle være begravet uden for våbenhuset.

English: The Church of Lyngby is the largest of the chalkstone churches in the area of Grenaa. Today the church is a gothic church. The tower as well as the porch has special ends, and the choir is of the same height and width as the nave. If you take a good look at the church you will find evidence of roman kind, showing that the church is older than it first appears. The signs date back to the 13th century.

The legend of the church says that it was a noble miss who had the church build. Meanwhile she had a sister who, because of jealousy of this great assignment, swore that she would build a wall around the church that would be more expensive than the church itself. She had a wall build that had such massive dimensions that it cost exactly 2 shillings more than the church.

Whether it is true or not, the church stands there, and the old stone wall is still visible at the south and west ends of the churchyard. If you doubt that it was more expensive, you must consider that this assignment was smaller, without a tower, porch and sacristy, it was lower than it is now, just as the choir was originally lower than the nave, also the church walls was twice as high as they appear now. Until 1854 the wall was 3,8 meters high and 1,7 meters wide. In 1862 the story around the church says that the 2 sisters are buried outside the porch.
