Ramnes Church

The church of Ramnes is a long church dating from the 12th century. The heavy stone walls are the originals, except for the north-west corner. The sacristy and the porch were built next to the one-meter thick walls. At the beginning of the 17th century, the church was given a new tower. Most of the original equipment has disappeared, but the oldest part of the baptismal font dates from the beginning of the 13th century. The altarpiece with the communion motif and the pulpit with the carved fields are from the 17th century.
