The abbey church

The Abbey was built in the fourteenth century.

Made of medieval large bricks. 'Graabroederkirken' was originally a monastery, but in 1532 it became a protestant church.

The church's most significant furnishings are:

Dowager Queen Sophie's 33 sqm Mecklenburg pedigree. Denmark's largest church treasure. Dowager Queen Sophie was Northern Europe's richest woman at the time of her death, and her loans financed all of her son's, Christian IV's, construction projects and wars.

The church also has a painting by Lucas Cranach, as well as a carillon with 26 bells.

The church also has a herbal garden.
