Jelling Church

The church in Jelling, which is placed between the two large mounds, has been build of chalkstone. It has been build about the year 1100.

Before this church there has on the same location been three wooden churches, of which the first was build in the period of Harald Bluetooth. The size of the first wooden church was 14 x 30 meters, and therefore somewhat larger than the present church, and it is considerably larger than other wooden churches, from which are found remains.

 

The present stone church had a tower added in the years of 1400.
