Stege Church

Very interesting interior!

Stege Church, also Sankt Hans Church, is a 13th-century brick church in Stege on the Danish island of Møn. Now in the Gothic architectural style, the church was originally a Romanesque building.
It is not clear whether the church, now known as Sankt Hans, was originally consecrated to St John the Evangelist or St John the Baptist. There are several references to Stege in the 13th century including a mention of the parish priest of Stegeborg (Stege Castle) in 1246 at a time when there was a close relationship between the castle (now demolished) and the church.2Today the church is an example of a brick Gothic building but in the walls of the nave and tower there are traces of a Late Romanesque structure which was probably built by Jakob Sunesøn, a cousin of Bishop Absalon, who ruled Møn until his death in 1246. In the second half of the 15th century, the church was rebuilt. Possibly after a fire at the east end of the church, the chancel was replaced c. 1460 by the narrow eastern section of the nave with lateral aisles, followed by a rather wider western nave with aisles and a tower which was completed by 1494. The Cartilage Baroque carved pulpit from c. 1632 presents reliefs of the Evangelists on four flat panels framed by herms representing the seven virtues: faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude. Additional reliefs depict the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi, the Entry into Jerusalem, the Baptism of Jesus and the Flight into Egypt. The artist is known as Mønbo H, the woodcarver who created the altarpiece in Fanefjord Church.

Stege local church with the most fantastic frescos.

interesting open church with nice medieval frescos.

A very Old church

Eine sehr schöne Kirche mit einem sehr interessanten Kontrast zwischen den reich verzierten Deckenmalereien beziehungsweise den fast schon gemütlichen Sitzbänken und dem absichtlich sehr neutral gehaltenen Altarbereich. Die Kirche war sogar angenehm warm.

Meget smuk og meget stor gotisk købstadskirke. Fine kalkmalerier. Nyrestaureret indvendigt. To meget fine orgler!

Wunderschöne, nordische Backsteinkirche aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, für die man sich Zeit für eine Besichtigung nehmen sollte.

En smuk kirke som er vær og se.

Yderst smuk kirke. Bestemt anbefalelsesværdig!

Flot kirke - et besøg værd

Fantastisk kirke med en spænende historie

En meget flot gammel kirke. Der er mange informationer inde i kirken, om historien. Der er flotte kalkmalerier loftet. Der er åbent i kirken hver dag fra 9-17. Det er en god måde at få en bedre ide omkring Steges historie ved at se ind i kirken. Helt klart et besøg værd!!!!

Sehr sehenswert, besonders beeindruckend der Altarraum in strahlendem Weiss mit einem wunderschönen Buntglasfenster.

En skøn oplevelse med en præst der fortalte levende og medrivende, en fin konfirmation.

Stege Kirke er en meget stor, smuk gammel kirke med flotte kalkmalerier.
