History
The parish name in old Danish using "Simr" (slow-floating) and "os" (river) originally referred to the Tommarps river flowing into the Baltic Sea. In 1100, the village and parish name was Simbrosa, later written as Cimris until 1869 when the name was standardized as Simris. The Romanesque apse church dates from the 12th century. The church underwent an extensive remodel in 1905 but retained its original baptismal font, the 17th century pulpit, and an altarpiece created in 1742. In the rectory's garden by one of the church's entrances are two rune stones: DR344 and DR345, that were previously built into the cemetery wall. [1][2]
