Ols Round Church

At 26 metres, this is the tallest of the churches and the most elegant seen from the outside.

The church was built around 1150, but has been rebuilt and reinforced several times, most recently in the mid-20^th century, when the altarpiece was among the things replaced.

If you climb the steep stairs, you'll soon understand why it was impossible for invading enemies to capture the church.

There are nine foxholes. The top of the wall clearly formed part of the parapet that surrounded the original flat roof of the church.

The church receives about 25,000 visitors every year.
