1. TØNDER CHRIST CHURCH
Tønder Kristkirke, as it stands today, was built on top of its predecessor, Sct. Nikolais Kirke. The predecessor was built in the 14th century and was demolished in 1591, where the present church stands today.
Although a new church was built, they chose to keep the church tower and the west gable, which was built in 1520. Therefore, the tower is older than the church itself.
Kristkirken in Tønder is one of the churches in Denmark that is richest in old furniture. This is due to the lavish wealth that was in the area from the 1500-1700s. The wealth came from the grain trade, Stude and the large lace industry. The inventory tells a powerful and clear story about the area that then bordered Tønder.
