Venture further into Denmark and discover Osterlars Kirke on Bornholm Island. Its grandeur will leave you awe-inspired, with its towering structure and intricate details that have stood the test of time.

As you continue your journey through Denmark's kirker, make sure not to miss Hasle Church in west Bornholm. Its picturesque location amidst nature's beauty creates a serene atmosphere perfect for reflection and tranquility. Kirker aren't limited to Europe alone; even Gimsøy kirke in Norway holds its own charm with stunning views of nature surrounding it. The peacefulness exuded by this quaint church is truly captivating. Delve deeper into history as we encounter MaryKirk, Wife of St Thomas Vernon through an exquisite engraving from times long past. This artwork transports us back centuries ago when life was different but love remained timeless. And let us not forget about art's ability to tell stories – like the Hellenistic pebble mosaic depicting Scylla and Charybdis guarding the strait. The attention to detail captures our imagination as we ponder ancient myths brought vividly alive through these masterpieces. Lastly, Arnold Kirke Smith's football shirt from 1873 takes us on a sporting journey down memory lane – reminding us how passion for sports has transcended generations throughout history.
