Keldby Church

The holy spring known as Helsekilden which gave the village the name of Keldby in 1135, lost its significance after the end of the Danish-Swedish wars in the early 19th century.

At the foot of the wall, in a quadrangular area, there is a crucifixion grouping with Mary, John and a warrior, possibly belonging to a now absent lateral altar.

The eastern section of the north wall displays images of Moses, Aaron, Joachim, and of Anne before the golden gate of Jerusalem.

There are also images from the New Testament including those of the birth of Jesus, the Flight to Egypt, the Sherherds in the Field and the Stoning of Stephen.

There is also a series of paintings at the eastern end of the Romanesque windows to the north, including a large image of a man, sitting in an arcade, as well as depictions of a king and a queen.

At the beginning of the 15th century, there are depictions of Fikke Lauridsen of Spejlsby, an important figure of his times.

[2] At the end of the 15th century, the newly completed vaults were decorated by the so-called Elmelunde Master.

On the north side, Peter stands opening the Gates of Heaven, while to the south there are two long-sleeved devils dragging the damned down to hell.

[3][4] Recent research by the Danish National Museum has established the probable date of the triptych's creation as the beginning of the 16th century.
