Tillitse Church

Tillitse Church is a Romanesque building west of the village of Dannemare, some 8 km (5.0 mi) south of Nakskov on the Danish island of Lolland.

Built of red brick in the first half of the 13th century, it has an intricately carved auricular altarpiece created by Jørgen Ringnis in 1642.

Little is known of its ownership in the Middle Ages but the Crown had clerical appointment rights at the time of the Reformation.

It bears the arms of Joachim von Barnewitz, Øllegaard Pentz and Hartwig Passow.

The church also contains a sandstone epitaph for Joachim von Barnewitz (died 1626) and Øllegaard Hartvigsdatter Pentz (1684–1654).

[3] Notable people buried in the graveyard include Ludvig Eduard Alexander Reventlow, who purchased the Rudbjerggård estate in 1891.
