Glesborg Church was built in the 13th century. Only the nave and choir date back to the Romanesque period. These are built of granite blocks. Several of the church's original windows and doors have been preserved. The tower and porch are both built of brick and were added later. In 1898, when the church was restored, attempts were made to restore the church to its original appearance as far as possible.

Both the altarpiece and the pulpit are in Renaissance style.

The church contains a number of frescoes from the 16th century. Romanesque baptismal font in granite with double lions.

Opening hours: Contact the gravedigger.
