Jelling Church

History

Anciently, Jelling was the seat of Gorm the Old, the last pagan king of Denmark. Gorm's son Knut was buried in a Viking burial mound just outside the church and also situated next to the church are the famous Jelling stones created to commemorate Gorm and his wife Thyra.

The Jelling church was burned by fire on 3 April 1673. Then on 1 July 1679 the priest's farm house was burned as well.
