This church has a particular history as the choir with the Altarpiece fell down as the limestone cliff it stood on fell in the sea in 1928. The Altarpiece has been partly restored and is now shown in a side chapel but rather than replacing a new choir and altarpiece they have left it open to look straight out at sea. It’s now a beautiful piece of reminiscent architecture with a great room including the view. Well worth visiting while in Stevns.
