Døstrup Church
Døstrup Church is a quintessential Romanesque ashlar stone church dating back to approximately 1200 (the Valdemar era). Originally, it comprised only a chancel and a nave. The porch was added in 1880, and the tower was erected in 1944 – funded by manager Niels Hvorslev and designed by Royal Building Inspector E. Packness from Aalborg. In 1985, Anna Hvorslev donated the tower clock.
While the north door is now walled up, the portal, crafted from two man-high granite stones, still beautifully adorns the church's north wall. A threshold stone lies beside the church. The south door, which remains in use, features tall jamb stones with heavy roll moldings that extend onto a tympanum, where the field is uniquely divided by a low, vertical roll molding.
