Bov Kirke is a centuries-old Danish church in Bov, not far from the German-Danish border near Flensburg.
It is not known exactly when the church in Bov was founded. The Romanesque nave and the Romanesque choir are the oldest parts of the white-plastered church building, which is located in the middle of a small cemetery surrounded by fieldstone walls.
The nave has a flat beamed ceiling, while the choir has a Gothic vault. The apse was demolished in 1668. In the same year, the nave was extended three meters to the west. Remains of medieval frescoes have been preserved in the nave.

In 1817, a vestibule, a so-called armory, was added to the south side of this building. For this purpose, the columns and the curved stones from the medieval women's door on the north side of the church were transferred here. During the renovation in 1890, the nave was raised by 70 cm. On the south side, the tiny medieval windows were enlarged, while on the north wall they remained the same size.

Originally, the church had only one bell tower. In 1905, the church received its steeple. The plans for this west tower were drawn up by the architect C. Voß from Kiel.

Directly east of the cemetery at Kirkevej 1 is the vicarage. The whitewashed, single-storey building with a thatched roof dates from 1766. The vicar also looks after the church in Kollund, which was built in 1971.

The oldest piece of equipment is a depiction of the baptism of Jesus carved from an oak trunk, which dates back to around 1250.

The church has two baptismal fonts. The granite baptismal font dates from the Middle Ages. The lid, made in 1626, was lost after the baptismal font was replaced by a baroque baptismal font stand in 1715. The old baptismal font has been used again since 1880. In 1949, he received a new brass baptismal font, which is placed on the baptismal font and is used today.

Bov Kirke in Pattburg (Padborg, DK) is the official start of the Via Jutlandica. In the church there is also a stamping station for the pilgrim's identity card.
