Villersø Church
When you visit Villersø Church and walk up the church hill through the late Gothic entrance portal into the churchyard and look back down over the town, you immediately sense that you are in an ancient sacred place.
Villersø Church is a Romanesque church from the 13th century built of granite blocks. Although the outer walls have since been rebuilt, the north side in particular remains almost intact with small round-arched windows and a women's door closed with blocks.
The vaults and tower were added in the late Gothic period, and the tower is one of the region's characteristic ‘stilt towers’. However, the pyramid spire dates from the 1800s.
