Overview

Recommended

Suldrup Church is a village church in the Østjylland section of Margueritruten, about 7.6 km from the signed route. The oldest parts date to the 13th century, and the building was probably moved or rebuilt around 1500. Inside, the church is known for a rosette on the north wall, linked to a mural that has since been painted over. Much of the interior came from other churches, including the altar from the former church in Buderup. A moved runic stone stands in front of the porch.

This is a good short stop if you are interested in older church buildings and reused interior fittings. The church also gives a clear sense of how parts of one building can carry traces from several places and periods.

Worth a brief detour if you like historic churches and small architectural details.
