Damsholte Kirke

Damsholte Church on western Møn is the only Danish village church built in Rococo style, making it an architecturally unique monument. The church was built in 1741–1743 by architect Philip de Lange. The yellow, rendered church features a bulbous dome at the west end, a narrow side entrance and a short vestibule. The long rectangular interior is dominated by columns and a large altar arrangement with the pulpit raised high above the altarpiece — all in wood with muted grey tones reflecting the spirit of Pietism. Around 1800 a funerary chapel was added for the LaCalmette family, owners of the church and Marienborg estate.
