Facts: The church is placed in the mettle of Kalundborg (Zealand) - called the "high town". Build in 1200 by Espern Snare (according to the traditional telling). It has form from a Greek cross, where each of the four "cross arms" are ended with a tower. In the mettle age people imagined Jerusalem as a town defended by 5 towers - and the idea with the church architecture is to associate the old Jerusalem. The altar piece are made in 1650 by Lorentz Jorgensen - originally unpainted, but painted in 1701 and restored in 1971-72.
