The Romanesque elements include the arched windows in the east. The rich furnishings of the sacred building go back above all to the 14th to 16th centuries. The altar dates from the 15th century.The preserved part of the east wing of the monastery complex with dormitory and chapter house dates from the third quarter of the 13th century. It connects to the south of the transept of the church. After the Reformation, the monastery buildings were demolished. In 1614 the stones were used to build the neighboring hunting lodge. Today there is a church music school and the training center of the Danish Folkekirke, among other things, on the monastery grounds.eurob.org/item/logumkloster_kloster
