Hulsig Church (Danish: Hulsig Kirke) is a church located in the village of Hulsig, 10 km (6.2 mi) south of Skagen in the far north of Jutland, Denmark.

History and description

[edit]

The little church which stands alone in the sand dunes close to the main road was completed in 1894. Designed by Vilhelm Ahlmann in the Neo-Romanesque style, the red-brick building consists of a triangular chancel and a nave. At the west end, there is a small bell tower with a spire. The painting on the altarpiece is a copy of Joakim Skovgaard's Hyrden finder det bortløbne lam (The Shepherd finds the Lost Sheep). The organ from 1972 was designed by Peter Bruhn.[1]
