As the Evangelical Lutheran Church (''Den Danske Folkekirke'') became the official religion of Denmark after the Reformation in 1536, records not currently in use are deposited at the National Archives (''Rigsarkivet''). For information about records still held by the parish contact the local parish. Contact information can be found on the [https://www.folkekirken.dk/ Danske Folkekirken]'s website. | |||
