Very interesting traditional huts with some of the best thatching I've ever seen. Well worth exploring.

There is a car park on the road, as well as several places to sit. Accordingly, the sight can also be used as a starting point for a tour or as a place to rest. The ruins are located about 100 meters inside the forest in a clearing. A memorial stone marks the spot where the church of the community of Hals was located several centuries ago. The tragic fate that befell the church and the entire town of Hals can be read on an information board in Danish, German or English (as well as on one of the attached photos 😉).

The church is redwashed with white details and consists of a late Romantic brick nave with a slightly narrower chancel, a late Gothic tower to the west, and a modern porch to the north. The medieval sections are made of red and yellow monk's stone, set in monk's bands, but are mostly reinforced with small stones. The nave has a beamed ceiling, and the chancel has a built-in Gothic groin vault. The tower, which projects diagonally from the church, has shining fluted gables to the north and south (the dates 1767 and 1794 refer to restorations). A pointed arch connects the nave with the tower room, which is covered by an eight-part vault. The porch was built in 1885 (architect F. Uldall) of red brick. It has been replaced by an older timber-framed porch. There was an earlier porch on the south side. The church is redwashed with white details. The roof of the nave extends over the choir to the east and ends in a full hip. These are covered with monk's roof tiles, while the other roof surfaces are covered with wing tiles. A comprehensive renovation took place in 1947-48 (architect L. Teschl). On the brick altar stands a late Gothic velvet altarpiece from 1475 with two rows of figures: in the nave, Christ and the Virgin Mary in a solitary scourge surrounded by eight saints, including Saint Archclaus and Saint Etherus, probably two rare bishop saints. The wings depict the apostles. The panel was restored in 1708 by Bertel Hansen's wife, Kirsten Lauritsdatter. There is an old chalice, paid for in 1698 by Berendt Fællenkamp and Magdalene Bracm. The altarpieces were created in 1648 at the expense of Jørgen Rosenkrantz and Mrs. Christensen Juul. Three ship models and epitaphs hang in the nave. The choir vault features late Gothic frescoes (The Three Kings) from the early 15th century, for which the church is probably best known. https://www.visitlaesoe.dk/turist/planlaeg-din-tur/vesteroe-kirke-gdk598315
