The oldest part of Hjortshøj Church, the nave, dates back to the 12th century. However, in the late Middle Ages, the Romanesque church underwent a major renovation, during which the choir and nave were joined together. Before the Reformation, this was highly unusual. The year, 1492, can still be seen on a vault inside the church.
