Hover Church

Hover Church

'The first house', the 'clock house', Hover Church. One of many early stone churches in western Jutland, the church in Hover near Ringkøbing was built in the 12th century. The small ashlar stone church with the open church space is characterized by being a further development of the wooden churches built by the first Christians. Before the churches in western Jutland got towers, aisles, porches, rebuilds and extensions, they all looked like the church in Hover. But no longer, and today Hover Church is a rare testimony to the first architecture of Christianity in Denmark, unadulterated High Middle Ages. 

The stone church in Hover is designated as part of the Danish cultural canon.

Kaj Munks Præstegård

The poems in the garden are wonderful

You'll get a vividly narrated introduction to the museum about Kaj Munk's life, so you're ready for the visit. The poems in the garden are wonderful and the café right in the middle of the museum overlooking the water is unique.

We can only recommend it

Really nice Viking village with a cozy café. There are employees present in the houses who are happy to give explanations. To our delight, it is also in German, which is not to be expected in a foreign country. The small shop, which also serves as a ticket office, offers jewelry and everyday items.

Much to play and discover

A beautifully landscaped area, there is a lot to play and discover outside. The exhibits in the main building are interesting and child-friendly. The additional offers are also diverse and carefully planned. The staff was always nice and helpful. We will gladly come back!

Very cool Viking village

Very cool Viking village with many attractions. We could do archery, bake bread and more. You also get a lot of information about the Viking Age and the actors are very authentic. You can even find a blacksmith shop here. We can only recommend it, a visit is worth it.

Impressive reconstruction

Impressive reconstruction of a Viking village that you can touch. There are fun activities (e.g. archery, leather bag and bracelet making) for children (around 4 to 14 years old). We spent a good 4 to 5 hours exploring everything in peace and doing the activities with the kids. If you are local and interested in Vikings, you should not miss this highlight!
