Tønder - Christ Church

(Local Name: Kristkirke) The Late Gothic Christ Church (Kristkirke) was built of brick in 1591. Note the tower with its octagonal spire, which had formed part of an earlier church. The richly decorated interior boasts an altar table of 1696, a pulpit of 1586 and a font of Belgian marble, as well as 17th and 18th C. tombs of leading merchants of Tønder and their families.
