St Michael Church Description
(Local Name: Skt. Mikkels Kirke) The central feature of the town is St Michael's Church (Skt. Mikkels Kirke), built ca. 1330 on the highest hill in Slagelse and restored in 1873-6. It has a memorial, designed by the sculptor Gunnar Slot in 1959, to the Danish resistance movement in the Second World War; next to it can be seen the sculpture "Woman", by Keld Moseholm Jørgensen.

Nearby stands the former monastery barn, which was a Grammar School from 1616 to 1809. A prominent pupil was Jens Baggesen (1764-1826), who published the first modern Danish prose.
