ATRACTION DESCRIPTION
There are four famous romanesque style round churches in Bornholm: Nylars Kirke, Ols Kirke, Ny Kirke, Østerlars Kirke. Ny Round Church, originally called simply “All Saints Church”, is the smallest and youngest of all four. It was erected in XII century. It served two purposes: religious and defensive. Like most medieval sacral buildings located in small settlements it was an enclave where all the villagers gathered in case of attack. In the center of the church there is a column covered with frescos. The paintings present scenes from the passion of the Christ.
