Olsker Church
Sankt Ols Kirke
The tallest and most slender of the four round churches, set on high ground, it once also served as a navigation landmark for ships.
Olsker (St. Olaf's) Church was built in the 12th century on high ground about 112 m above sea level in the north of the island. It is the tallest and most slender of the four round churches, with towering white walls and a striking pointed roof, and in the past it also served as a navigation beacon for ships at sea. The interior is simple, but you can see the central pillar and the three-tier structure. Admission is free. It lies about 4 km south of Allinge and is worth visiting on the same day as Hammershus.
