Rø Church

A church with historical roots

Rø Church is located in Rø on Bornholm. The current church from 1888 replaces a Romanesque church that was demolished in 1887 when it was deemed too dilapidated to be preserved.

Rebuilt in the neo-Romanesque style

The current church is built in the neo-Romanesque style and is largely a copy of the original church from around 1200. It thus continues the historical expression and maintains the connection to the area's medieval architecture.

Traces of the old church

In both the porch and the tower room you can see various fragments from the old church, which provide an exciting insight into the building's earlier history.

17th-century furnishings

The church also contains older furnishings, including an altarpiece and a pulpit from the early 17th century, which testify to the church's long history and cultural significance.
