Balslev Church
Medieval church with a late Gothic tower and furnishings from several centuries. A visit gives you a glimpse of Funen's church history from the 12th century onwards.
Whitewashed village church on a small rise
Balslev Church stands on a small rise outside the village of Balslev, about 13 kilometres south-east of Middelfart. Its alterations bear witness to the changing needs of each era. Today the large Gothic tower still stands, along with various furnishings.
The church from the Romanesque period is built of granite and now stands whitewashed with a red tile roof. The pews were replaced in the 19th century. The font is from the Romanesque period, with a baptismal dish from around 1600. Above the chancel arch hangs a crucifix from around the 14th century, and the pulpit dates from around 1620–1630. The altarpiece shows the Evangelists and Christ and dates from 1653, carved by Hans Nielsen in Middelfart.
