Karup Church - Sæby

It is built from quarried fieldstones and consists of a choir, nave, and a porch. The building form, as it appears today, is very close to its original appearance.

Karup Church is a 'saddleback' church – meaning it lacks a tower.
Around the 1500s, the interior of the church was altered with the installation of vaults instead of the original wooden ceiling.

During a restoration project in 1957, six coins were discovered. The most remarkable one dates back to the time of King Valdemar the Victorious, struck in Ribe between 1202-1241. Another coin was from King Valdemar Atterdag around 1252. This suggests the church may be older than the year 1200 and could possibly date back to the 12th century.
