Visit Hoed Church in the village of Hoed, about 13 km south of Grenaa. This whitewashed medieval church features Romanesque granite, Gothic vaults, a distinctive stilted tower and historic furnishings from several periods.
Medieval church with a Romanesque core
Hoed Church is situated in the village of Hoed, approximately 13 km south of Grenaa. The church dates back to the Middle Ages, and the nave of the original Romanesque granite church is still preserved.
In the late Middle Ages, the church was extended eastwards using monk bricks. This gave the church its current form, with Gothic vaults and the chancel and nave combined into a single space.
A distinctive stilted tower
To the west stands the church’s narrow stilted tower, a type of tower found at several churches on Djursland. The masonry marks form the year 1633, bearing witness to a restoration.
The large porch to the south and the red tiled roofs complete the church’s simple, whitewashed appearance.
Historical furnishings from various periods
Inside the church, you can see a Romanesque granite baptismal font, an altarpiece dating from around 1600 and a pulpit from the 17th century.
In the porch, a gravestone from 1655 is set into the wall.
