Hjermind Church

In the chancel arch of Hjermind Church, you can see relatively newly restored frescoes (the martyrdom of St. Lawrence).

In the vicarage garden stands the “Hjermind Stone”, one of Central Jutland's most distinguished rune stones (“Tolv set this stone over his brother Rade, who was a good man”).

Also take a look at the vicarage garden, where you can see a memorial stone erected by the most famous priest of the place, Hans Bjerregaard, who set a Danish record by holding the office for 59 years! Bjerregaard was a rationalist and taught the Jutland farmers how to plant; in doing so, he rendered great service.

King Frederik VI visited the vicarage in 1826 and appointed Bjerregaard to the consistorial council.

Bjerregaard's portrait can be found in the church choir. The rune stone is considered particularly noteworthy because it has a primitive ship relief on the back.
