The church Skt. Hans (Johannis) church in Stege got its present form in the 15th century.
In front of today's church there was a romantic church here as early as the 13th century.

The current 15th and 16th century Gothic church was built in place of an older Romanesque church. In the 19th century, the interior frescoes were uncovered, some dating back to the 14th century. The interpretation of some of the murals is apparently still unclear or at least uncertain, but probably has to do with local festivals.

The brick building now has the overall appearance of a Gothic church. It consists of a nave divided into two sections of different widths, a short polygonal chancel and a west tower. If the choir was indeed rebuilt in the 1460s, it was undoubtedly inspired by that of Maribo Cathedral (Wikipeda).
