Handrup Church
Handrup Church is beautifully situated in the Handrup hills on Djursland. The church was originally an annex to Dråby Church. At the end of the 19th century, there was a desire for a church in the western part of the parish. In January 1902, the church was consecrated.
In 1972, the church acquired artist and professor Kræsten Iversen's (1886-1955) large painting: ‘Jesus' Entry into Jerusalem’. The painting is a preliminary study for a glass mosaic that can be seen in Risskov Church.
Over the years, the church has been struck by lightning three times. Each time, the altarpiece has been completely or partially destroyed.
