Hulsig Church

Hulsig Church

Hulsig Church (Danish: Hulsig Kirke) is a church located in the village of Hulsig, 10 km (6.2 mi) south of Skagen in the far north of Jutland, Denmark.

History and description

The little church which stands alone in the sand dunes close to the main road was completed in 1894. Designed by Vilhelm Ahlmann in the Neo-Romanesque style, the red-brick building consists of a triangular chancel and a nave. At the west end, there is a small bell tower with a spire. The painting on the altarpiece is a copy of Joakim Skovgaard's Hyrden finder det bortløbne lam (The Shepherd finds the Lost Sheep). The organ from 1972 was designed by Peter Bruhn.[1]
