Rø Church

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rø Church, Bornholm

Rø Church is a parish church located in the little village of Rø in the north of the Danish island of Bornholm. Completed in 1888, it replaces a Romanesque building from c. 1200 which was demolished in 1887 as a result of structural problems. Built in the New Romanesque style, the church is more or less a copy of its predecessor. The altarpiece and pulpit are from the beginning of the 17th century. The Frobenius organ was installed in 1955.[1][2]
