Rolsø Kapel

The stone chapel, situated at the northern mouth of Knebel Vig into Århus Bugt, stands alongside an old cemetery on the Djursland peninsula.

Founded in 1175, the chapel remains as the last structure of Rolsø Church, which was demolished in 1908 after serving the community for 733 years.

The cemetery contains graves with cast iron crosses from the 1700s, featuring burial inscriptions directly cast into the metal instead of traditional stone markers.

Located at Rolsøgårdvej in Knebel, the chapel maintains its cemetery grounds and welcomes visitors interested in exploring Danish religious architecture.

The cemetery holds the grave of teacher Chr. Johansen from 1897, displaying a century-old black and white photograph that remains clear despite coastal weather conditions.
