Loenstrup church

Lønstrup Kirke is a church with some older furniture from Maarup Church and a Romanian Baptist Fund.

Lønstrup Church was built in the years following drawings by architects Valdemar Schmidt and Charles Jensen. The inauguration took place in 1928, and the tower was raised to its full height in 1939.
Inside the church stands the old Romanesque granite baptismal font from Mårup Church, containing a German baptismal font from 1575.
In addition, there is a number of furnishings from Mårup Church, including a stone tablet in the tower room, which commemorates the dead from the sunken English warship “The Crescent”. The cemetery also has a grave with a memorial for those who died in the shipwreck.
The carpet under the altar was woven by Birgit Andersen from Ørum in 1988 and shows a fish – an old symbol of Christ and a reference to the fact that for those who built the church in Lønstrup in the 1920s, fish was, above all else, “the daily bread”. The fish thus becomes in this place an illustration of Jesus’ words: “I am the bread of life.”
The church is open when there is staff at the cemetery, often during the day from 9 am to 3 pm Tuesday-Saturday, and on Sunday if there is a service. Lønstrup Church is also a stop on the military road, the stamp is in the toilet building by the cemetery gate.
