DANSK : På en skråning
nær Vorgod Å, finder man en lille kullet
kirke fra 1100-tallet. Den består af kor og skib og er bygget
af
granitkvadre. Til kirken er senere bygget et våbenhus. Stilen
er
romansk. Syddøren er tilmuret. Klokken som er en af landets
ældste
er ophængt i en klokkestabel. Den bærer indskriften: "I det
herrens
år 1329 lavede Poul mig" Der er netop nu (juli 2006) et
restaureringsarbejde igang og klokkestabelen forventes at være
opsat igen engang i september 2006. Der vil så komme 2 klokker
i
stabelen, 1 nyere klokke til automatisk ringning samt
naturligvis
den gamle klokke. Inde i kirken står granitdøbefonten, der
sandsynligvis er lige så gammel som som kirken selv. Det
nuværende
dåbsfad er af tin og blev i 1955 skænket af daværende
kirkeminister
Jens Sønderup og hustru, begge ligger nu begravet på
kirkegården.
Altertavlen er dateret 1697. Hovedmotivet er Nadverens
indstiftelse. I koret står endvidere en degnestol fra 1585.
Prædikestolen er i barokstil og fra 1700, mens lydhimlen er en
kopi
af en tidligere. Kirkeskibet "Dannebrog" blev ophængt i 1935 og
var
skænket af fabrikant Eli Jepsen. Længden er 75 cm. I 1986 - 87
gennemgik kirken en hovedistandsættelse. I kirken ses også en
tavle, der viser navnene på kirkens præster efter reformationen
i
1536.
ENGLISH : At a hillside
close to Vorgod Å,a small casehardent
church from the 12th century is situated. The choir and the
nave
are made of granite squares. Later on the porch has been added
to
the church. The church is in romanesque design and the south
door
has been bricked up. The church bell, one of the oldest church
bells in Denmark, is placed in a bell frame; the following
inscription has been engraved: "I det herrens år 1329 lavede
Poul
mig" ("In the year of our Lord 1329 I was made by Poul") Just
now
(juli 2006) a repairwork is going on, and the bell frame will
be
raised again sometime around september 2006. Then there will be
2
bells in the bell frame, 1 new bell for automatic chime and
offcourse the old bell. Inside the church, the baptismal font,
made
of granite, is placed and most likely, it is as old as the
church
itself. The present christening plate is made of pewter; in
1955,
it was donated by the Danish Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affairs,
Jens Sønderup and his wife, both of them is now buried on the
churchyard. The altar piece is from 1697; the main theme is the
Foundation of the Holy Communion. A minister´s bench from 1585
has
been placed in the choir. The pulpit is in Baroque design,
dated
back to 1700 and the sounding board is a copy of a previous one.
In
1935, the votive ship "Dannebrog" was donated by Eli Jepsen.
The
ship is 75 cm long. In 1986 - 87, the church was thoroughly
restored. In the church, you can also see a plate on the wall,
telling the names of the parishes of the church, since the
danish
reformation in 1536.
