Elmelunde

From Ulvshale a bridge leads to the nearby island of Nyord and continues to Elmelunde. The church, a prominent landmark for sailors, is in the style typical of rural churches in eastern Denmark and contains frescoes by the Master of Elmelunde; these include "Entry into Jerusalem", "Flagellation of Christ", "Last Judgment", "St. Peter with the Key to Heaven", "St. Paul with a Sword", as well as ploughing and harvest scenes.

Beautiful patterns of flowers, climbing plants, birds and stars fill the spaces between the many Bible scenes. The altar and pulpit were gifts from Corfitz Ulfeldt - who lived on Møn for a time as a feudal lord - and his consort, Leonora Christina.
