Vestermarie Church

The building, made essentially of fieldstone but with some sandstone, consisted of a Romanesque chancel and a nave, a western tower (also added during the Romanesque period), and a Gothic porch for the south door.

It lies on high ground in the southern part of Vestermarie parish, the largest in area on the island of Bornholm.

It was designed in the Neo-Romanesque style by Mathias Bidstrup and consists of a chancel with an apse, a nave and a tower, all of reddish granite with corners and trimmings of grey stone.

[1] Covered by a wooden ceiling, galleries line the north and south sides of the nave.

The pulpit and the altarpiece depicting Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane date from 1885 when the new church was consecrated.
