Odby Church
photo Elroy Christenson 2016

I actually know very little about this church. It is in the center of Odby which is a small farming community in central Jutland peninsula of Denmark.  This church is originally built about 1200.  The tower and bells were added about 1500.  Other refurbishing of the interior paintings was completed in 1990.  There is a crucifix from the 1400s also here.  [wikipedia.org]

A number of relatives have been buried here in the past but according the tradition, after fifty years the remains are removed and the stone markers are broken up so that the plot can be reused.
