The current parish church, the Church of the Holy Spirit, was not founded until the end of the 15th century. In 1477, the monastery was founded in Faaborg and approved by the Pope in Rome on March 14, 1478.
In the following period, church and monastery buildings were constructed, with the church choir and the north aisle, as well as the east wing of the monastery as the first phase. Today, clear traces of the destroyed monastery, which had two vaulted floors, can be seen on the north side of the church.
The church today appears as a large and beautiful church with monastic pews from the Catholic period. The original altarpiece of the Church of the Holy Spirit, dating from 1511, is now in the National Museum in Copenhagen and is a treasure from that period. The current altarpiece dates from 1855 and was painted by Vilhelm Marstrand.
