Church of Fransum

The church features three bays in the Romanesque nave, with one section replaced by a three-sided closed choir from the 16th century.

Built around 1300 for the Cistercian monks of Aduard, the church stands on an ancient dwelling mound that contains archaeological findings from the 5th century.

The building contains a medieval brick pulpit and serves as a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and ceremonies due to its excellent acoustic properties.

The church building maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors who can reach it through a narrow road leading to the elevated mound.

The structure includes a 17th-century ridge turret with an octagonal lantern and smaller windows that replaced larger ones during the 1949 restoration.
