Ørslev church
Ørslev Church dates back to the Valdemar period and was built around 1180 using faxe limestone.
In the 14th century, Ørslev Church was expanded and renovated using claystone and sandstone. On the north side of the chancel, just a few meters from the east gable and at eye level, a carved stone is embedded in the wall, likely from the original church. When the evening sunlight in summer reaches the north side, a fierce animal head emerges. It has a gaping mouth with a playing tongue, a watchful eye, and a peculiar little ear.
The church consists of a Romanesque nave, a Gothic chancel, tower, and porch. It features a Romanesque granite foundation. Late Gothic candelabra from 1550. The altarpiece is from the High Renaissance around 1600. There is a painting from 1855 by C. Schleisner depicting Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. The antependium, chasuble, and stool are from 1996, designed by Martin Nannestad Jørgensen and embroidered by the Maya Indians in Mexico.
