Rutsker

[2] Standing on a hilltop 130 metres (430 ft) above sea level, it is the highest-lying church in Denmark.

Commanding views over the surrounding countryside, it formerly served as a landmark for sailors in the Baltic Sea.

Built in the Romanesque style around 1200, much of the original structure has been replaced by extension and reconstruction work.

[1] In the 17th century, Poul Ancher, who was the local priest from 1654 to 1697 fought for Bornholm's independence from the Swedes.

Rutsker was also the birthplace of Michael Ancher (1849–1927), a key member of the impressionist Skagen Painters.
