The Rings Kirke dates back to around 1200. Interestingly, the tower is on the south side and not on the west as usual. Today's tower dates from the early 17th century and is characterized by the four distinctive gables.

The mill (Egescov Mølle) was built in 1855 on the site of a previous building. The mill became famous throughout Denmark because the draftsman Ib Andersen used the Egescov Mølle as a motif for the current 10-kroner note.

The oldest part of the church right next to the tower in the south dates from around 1190. In the middle of the 14th century the church was expanded to the east. The considerable size of the church can also be traced back to the good income that the directors source brought in very close by. Magical powers have been attributed to the spring water. It was sold in small leather bottles and promised healing to the faithful and the sick.
