Troldkirken

The name "Troldkirken" means both Church of the Troll and Church of Sorcery in Danish.

There are several myths surrounding Troldkirken and its peculiar name. One of them states that it appeared when nearby trolls were angered by the noisy church bells in Sønderholm Church. They grabbed huge stones and threw them at the church, but missed. Another story says that a man once witnessed "the subterraneans" conduct a form of ceremony inside the dolmen.
