Fanefjord Church, Medieval church in Møn, Denmark
Located between Store Damme and Hårbølle, the white-walled church with red-tiled roof stands on a hill overlooking the Baltic Sea inlet of Fanefjord.
Dating from 1275, the church underwent major additions around 1300 with cross vaults, followed by a tower in 1500 and a choir construction in 1660.
The interior walls display numerous frescoes from the 13th and 16th centuries, painted by the Elmelunde Master using red, yellow, green, gray, and black colors.
Visitors can find the church at Fanefjord Kirkevej 51 in Askeby, where it continues to serve as an active Lutheran place of worship.
The church stands next to Grønsalen, a 100-meter-long barrow that local folklore associates with the burial of queen Fane and king Grøn Jæger.
