Brahetrolleborg Church,
Brahetrolleborg pr. Korinth,
Sallinge Herred, Svendborg County, Fyn, Denmark

Brahetrolleborg kirke har spillet en stor
rolle i vores familiehistorie. Pastor Rasmussen, den samme
præst, som viede mine forældre, Ella Geisler og Vagn
Agerskov Christensen, her, døbte også både min far
og mig - min far det første år han var præst her,
og mig det sidste år. |

married my parents, Ella Geisler and Vagn Agerskov Christensen, here,
also christened both my father and me - my dad the first year he was
the pastor here, and me the last. |

Brahetrolleborg Kirke, som i dag delvist er
malet hvid, og Brahetrolleborg Slot var oprindelig
cistercienserkloster, og var kendt som Holme Kloster. Kirken er
opført i 1200-tallet, men er siden ombygninger flere gange.
Brahetrolleborg Kirke er, foruden at
være Scandinaviens mest velbevarede cistercienserkloster, mest
kendt for døbefonten, som er udhugget i Italien i 1806 af
Bertel Thorvaldsen, og for orglet, et Angelorgel fra 1804. Kirken har
også et enkelt kalkmaleri, af Jomfru Maria med Jesus på skødet. |
Brahetrolleborg Church, which today has been
painted partially white, and Brahetrolleborg Castle were originally a
Cisterciensian Monastery, and was known as Holme Monastery. The
church was built in the 1200's, but has been altered and restored
several times since.
Brahetrolleborg Church is, aside from being
Scandinavia's most well preserved Cisterciensian Monastery, mostly
known for the baptismal, which was cut in Italy in 1806 by Bertel
Thorvaldsen, and the organ, an Angel-organ from 1804. The church has
a single wall fresco, of the Virgin Mary with Jesus in her lap. |
