Stege Kirke

Stege Church — also known as Sct. Hans Kirke — is a Romanesque-Gothic church in Stege on Møn. The oldest part dates from 1200–1250, built of monastic bricks with apse, choir and nave; during the Gothic period, 1460–1525, the church was expanded to its current size. The church is easily recognisable by its prominent tower and characteristic vaulted arches in the central nave. Inside, the chancel window is a glass mosaic by Sven Havsteen-Mikkelsen depicting ivy as a symbol of eternal life; the altar table and chandelier were designed by Alan Havsteen-Mikkelsen and consecrated in 1990. The church is open every day 8.00–19.00 and also offers pilgrimage apartments.
