St Jørgensbjerg Church

Jørgens-gårde ("St George's Cemetery") was built north of the church to accommodate those in Roskilde who were suffering from the plague.

[3] The church consists of a chancel and nave from c. 1080 and a south-facing porch and west tower, both Late Gothic.

The material is travertine limestone, worked into fairly large blocks on the outer wall but smaller inside.

[4] In 1868, frescos on the tower vault consisting of circular ornamental patterns surrounded by small rosettes were restored in black, russet and grey colouring.

[4] There is also a wall painting of St Agnes in a niche beside the font.<[5] The most notable item inside the church is the carved Renaissance pulpit from 1616, undoubtedly the work of the Roskilde master Anders Nielsen Hatt.
