Tibirke Church

In 1732, Vejby was granted royal permission to provide economic support for the dilapidated Tibirke Church.

[1] In 1717, Tibirke Church was almost completely covered by sand and it was under consideration to be torn down and have the building materials shipped off to Greenland.

[1] The original Romanesque church consisted of a granite nave just two bays long, a chancel and an apse.

It is of the same length as the nave but wider and taller, indicating that it was originally intended as the first stage of a complete renewal of the building.

The old altarpiece was initially left behind the painting but later transferred to first Frederiksborg Castle 1864) and then the National Museum of Denmark (1784).

Notable burials include: Tibirke Church was used as a location in the 2003 film Til højre ved den gule hund.

Tibirke Church in 1838.
