Built from rough fieldstones and granite blocks, this Romanesque church from the 12th to 13th centuries impresses with its 16th-century porch and crenellated gables, as well as a copy of Thorvaldsen's Christ figure on the altar. Its location in Glesborg invites you to explore the historic walls and use it as a base for other highlights such as the Sankt Gertruds Sti – a pilgrimage route through Djursland. Combine your visit with a trip to the nearby harbor town of Bønnerup or the city of Grenaa for a diverse experience of nature and culture.

Small but charming harbor. You can also get warm fried fish at the fish shop. Just ask. It's just a shame that all the cafes are closed on certain days of the week.
