It is definitely worth taking a look at the churches from the inside and experiencing the silence in the rooms

Elling Kirke was built in the first half of the 13th century and bends on a moraine knot near Elling Å.

The church is built of monk's stones and thus belongs to the relatively small group of Reverse Brick churches. It is whitewashed and has a red tiled roof. The Revolving Bricks churches all have wall decorations in the form of licenses and arches. Instead of the usual round arches, the north side of the nave has a peculiar sawtooth frieze.

The church has been continuously expanded and renovated, including a southern chapel for the nave and a massive tower with the characteristic combed gables. The church room itself had some frescoes in the past, but these have disappeared or been flooded.

Among the interesting objects is the Renaissance-style altarpiece with a two-column canopy. The altarpiece dates from 1635, but the painting in the altarpiece dates from 1969 and was made by Oscar Nicolaisen. The former altarpiece from around 1900 can now be seen on the north wall of the tower room.

The nave is a model of the warship "Printz Christian" from 1757, making it one of the oldest ship models in Danish churches. The ship is donated by a local couple.

In the cemetery surrounding the church there are several old family graves from the period. Many of the graves are also interesting from an artistic and cultural-historical point of view, and many are also preserved or registered as worthy of preservation.
