    This church was one of the most impressive buildings on the entire island. Aa Kirke was once the main church on Bornholm.

    The Romanesque church was built in the 12th century from Bornholm Silurian limestone and green sandstone. The unusual feature is the double tower, which also defines the townscape of Aarkirkeby. The church is named after the two small rivers between which it stands: Laeså and Grødby Å.

    The church after which Aakirkeby is named was built in the 12th century and was Bornholm's main church at that time.

    Åkirkeby Church is the largest on the island and is considered to be the oldest. Although it was laid out as a country church, it has always been much larger than comparable churches. The Bornholmer Landsting was held nearby, which is why the church had to host a large congregation. The Landsting was the court assembly of the free residents of Bornholm.
