Rye Kirke | Udforsk Historien bag et Hvideslægtens Mesterværk

Rye Church, built around 1150, is living proof of the history of the Roskilde area. Built of frost stone and spring lime, the church is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and tradition. It is said that one of the Hvideslägten members, probably Skjalm Hvide's grandson, was behind the construction. With its apse decoration of the Jørlunde workshop and majestic works of art, Rye Church is a pearl of artistic heritage. Explore the church to see the famous Lord Enthroned painting and Caspar Lubbeke's Holy Spirit Dove. At the cemetery stands a memorial to the Ejby murders, which once shook the local community. Experience the history and craftsmanship of Rye Church, a true treasure trove of past splendor.
