Ørslevkloster Church
A memorial plaque tells the story of Mogens Heinesen’s fate: in 1589, he was convicted of piracy and executed in Copenhagen. He was a colourful and feared sailor whose life and deeds continue to stir curiosity and debate. His epitaph stands as a powerful testament to the dramatic fates of the Reformation era and is one of many tales that make Ørslevkloster Church a captivating stop.
The church is the north wing of Ørslev Kloster. Nave and chancel were built in Romanesque style. Late Gothic tower and porch.
