Tømmerby Village Church in Thy was built between 1130 and 1140 and is particularly known for its unique location on the Selbjerg Vejle and for its granite carvings:
Reliefs and faces on the exterior of the apse, and a tympanum and stele in the vestibule.

The choir and nave are built in the Romanesque style. The vestibule and tower were later added in the Late Gothic style.

The church's Romanesque chancel arch has been preserved. The original altarpiece consists of a granite slab on four column legs. The slab is carved into a stone. In the center of the altar table is a so-called saint's grave, which was previously covered with a blue stone slab. The shrine grave contained a lead capsule containing relics of the church's saint (St. Botulf).

The altarpiece, which formerly stood on the old altar, dates from around 1600, with paintings and staff from 1736.

The baptismal font is also original. On the base is a motif from Aesop's fable about the stork and the fox. The pulpit dates from around 1600.

In the tower room is a Romanesque stele from around 1200. The stone, which could be the gable stone of a larger gravestone, bears the image of a face and an upright arm, and according to the Latin inscription, "the right arm of God."

In the porch stands another peculiar stone. Some believe it is a gravestone, others a phallus.

Some attribute the stones and many features of Tømmerby Church to Celtic origins.

Next to the church is St. Budolfi's Spring.
