Støvring Church

Støvring Church is a relatively recent parish church, completed in 1907 in the town of Støvring in North Jutland. It was built to take over from the former church at Buderup, which is now abandoned. To maintain a link with the older building, selected furniture and church fittings were moved from Buderup to Støvring and reused here. Today the church stands as the main place of worship for the local community and is an easy, straightforward stop close to the Margueritruten route through Østjylland.

Visit Støvring Church for a brief look at how a newer parish church absorbed furnishings from the abandoned Buderup Church. It offers a simple insight into local church life in a North Jutland town and can be combined with a visit to Buderup Ødekirke, where the predecessor building still stands, now unused.

A short, easy stop for those interested in local church history, best combined with Buderup Ødekirke nearby.

Frequently asked

What is special about Støvring Church compared to other Danish churches?

Støvring Church stands out because it is relatively new, dating from 1907, yet it continues the line of an older parish church. It replaced Buderup Church, which is now abandoned, and some of the furniture and liturgical equipment from Buderup was brought here and reused. This gives the interior a link back to the older rural church it succeeded.

How long should I plan to spend at Støvring Church on a road trip?

Most visitors will only need a short stop at Støvring Church. It works well as a 15–30 minute visit to look at the building, step inside if it is open, and notice the furnishings that originally came from Buderup Church.

How is Støvring Church connected to Buderup Ødekirke?

Støvring Church was built in 1907 to replace Buderup Church, which is now abandoned and known as Buderup Ødekirke.

If you are interested in Danish churches or local history, Støvring Church is a simple and convenient stop very close to the Margueritruten.
