Veggerslev Church

The white church of Veggerslev , built around 1200, is a Romanesque building made of hewn granite blocks. The tower and the church porch are late Gothic additions. The church is located north of Grenaa on the Djursland peninsula , which forms the eastern part of Jutland in Denmark .

At the southeast corner of the nave of the country church , the head of a male person is embedded in the outer masonry. It may be a depiction of Christ that lepers used as an altarpiece . In the choir there is an opening in the wall through which lepers were served the Lord's Supper . The same artist made the altar and pulpit in a simple Renaissance style . The baptismal font with a double knot pattern and male heads at the corners of the base comes from the Horder workshop (around 1180).
