Ydby kirke har været en del af min historie, fra jeg var ca. 8 år. På det tidspunkt flyttede min familie til Thy og kom til at bo i Boddum-Ydby sogn. Da sognet ikke altid havde gudstjeneste begge steder, skete det at vi tog cyklerne til Ydby kirke fra Boddum. Her lidt facts om kirken.
Kirken vi ser i dag, er begyndt opført omkring 1100, Koret først, derefter Skibet. Tårnet og Våbenhuset er fra omkring 1500. I katolsk tid var kirken viet til Sankt Morten. Ydby Kirke brændte første gang omkring år 1600, og igen 1742. Skulle det ske en tredje gang, fortæller et sagn, at der i gravhøjen ligger en guldskat, som kan betale en genopbygning.
(Ikke fundet dokumentation om en brand i 1600)

Cachen ligger uden for kirkegården, en petling tæt ved en sten.

Ydby church has been part of my history since I was approx. 8 years. At that time my family moved to Thy and came to live in Boddum-Ydby parish. As the parish did not always have worship in both places, it happened that we took the bikes to Ydby church from Boddum. Here are some facts about the church.
The church we see today began to be built around 1100, the choir first, then the nave. The tower and porch date from around 1500. In Catholic times, the church was dedicated to Saint Morten. Ydby Church burned for the first time around the year 1600, and again in 1742. Should it happen a third time, a legend says that there is a gold treasure in the burial mound, which can pay for a reconstruction.
(No documentation found of a fire in 1600)
