Nexø Church

[1] In the absence of records, it is difficult to date the building precisely, although it appears to have been established at the end of the Middle Ages, initially as a chapel for seafarers.

[2] The chancel section of the nave and the altar were renewed in 1985 as part of general renovation work throughout the building.

[3] The many decorations on the north gallery include Elijah in a chariot of fire, Job and his friends, Moses with the tablets of law Jesus walking on the water, and Paul's shipwreck.

In 1995, Bodil Kaalund completed her 27 scenes from the Old and New Testaments which decorate the pulpit and the gallery.

[3] The two large brass candlesticks on the altar were a gift from the crown prince and his wife in 1946 after repairs to the church had been completed after suffering bomb damage in May 1945.
