St. Paul's Church, Bornholm

St. Paul's Church (Danish: Sankt Povls Kirke) is a Romanesque church near Nexø on the Danish island of Bornholm.

Located on a hilltop in south-eastern Bornholm, St. Paul's, the youngest of the island's Romanesque churches, consists of an apse, chancel and nave.

It does, however, have a separate, well-designed bell tower with a half-timbered belfry which originally served as the gateway to the churchyard.

[1][2] The church has several well-preserved frescoes from c. 1560, some depicting scenes from the Easter story (on the north wall of the nave), others with animals at play.

The Renaissance pulpit from c. 1600 is similar to the one in Nexø Church which also has arched panels.
