Todbjerg Church
The oldest parts of Todbjerg Church north of Aarhus date back to the 12th century. The vaults and porch were added in the 1400s, and the small bell tower in 1772. The church has retained its original portals: on the tympanum of the women's door, a man is seen holding two lions by the throat, perhaps Daniel in the lions' den.
The church preserves it's old original portals: On the woman's door tympanum a man holding 2 lions by the throat can be seen. On the capitularities there are gospel symbols. The portals' casing stones are special and a bit odd as both have been carved from the same stone.
The murals of the church were restored in 1906. They picture the expelling of humans from paradise and are among the oldest danish murals.
The alterpiece was made by Svend Havsteen-Mikkelsen and bear the motive of the shepherds visit at christmas eve.
