Brarup Church

The Late Romanesque church has frescos from various periods including several by the Brarup Master and his workshop from the early 16th century.

There is little information about ownership in the Middle Ages apart from the fact that the Crown had calling rights for the appointment of clergy.

[3] The apse, chancel and nave are built of brick in the Late Romanesque style on a double sloping plinth with pilaster strips at the corners and saw-toothed cornices at the top.

[5] The altarpiece, a carved triptych from c. 1450 similar to the one in Vålse Church, depicts the Crucifixion in the centre flanked by the Apostles.

Similar to that in Nørre Alslev Church, it contains carved figures of Moses, Christ the Savior and John the Baptist.

The dome of the apse contains an interesting representation of the Coronation of the Virgin from c. 1275, the oldest in Denmark, probably influenced by monks of the mendicant orders of the period.

[4] The frescos on the chancel arch with seraphim and angels bearing censers are attributed to the Kippinge workshop.

The chancel arch displays Christ in Majesty flanked by Mary, John the Baptist and the Apostles.
