Ginnerup Church
Ginnerup Church on Djursland was built in the 12th century during the Romanesque period. The church is a chalkstone church, similar to many of the other churches on Djursland.
Today, however, only the nave is in the Romanesque style. At the end of the Middle Ages, in the late Gothic period, the original choir was demolished and replaced by the current choir, which blends in with the nave.
The church's altarpiece is from the Renaissance and was made around 1600, but the painting itself is from 1875.
In 1907, traces of frescoes were found in the vaults, but as they were in poor condition, they were whitewashed again. Until 1803, the parish priests had belonged to the same family for 300 years.
The church, which today is hidden behind a forest plantation, originally served as a landmark for sailors on the strait.
The church is open by appointment with the gravedigger between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
