Bandholm Church, Lolland

**Bandholm Church** is a [Church of Denmark](/source/Church_of_Denmark) parish church located in the harbor village of [Bandholm](/source/Bandholm) some 8 km (5.0 mi) north of [Maribo](/source/Maribo) on the Danish island of [Lolland](/source/Lolland). It was built in 1874 by Henrik Steffens Sibbern to a [cruciform](/source/Cruciform) plan in the [Romanesque Revival](/source/Romanesque_Revival_architecture) style. Built of red brick, it consists of a [chancel](/source/Chancel), a [nave](/source/Nave) and a tower with a conical spire.[1]

## History

Bandholm was originally part of [Østofte](/source/%C3%98stofte_Church) parish. As the population of the village increased, there was a need for a local church. Count Knuth of neighbouring [Knuthenborg](/source/Knuthenborg) provided land for its construction on the corner of Birketvej and Koholtvej. The architect, H.S. Sibbern (1826–1901) was charged with the design of the church. He had also designed the various buildings in [Knuthenborg Park](/source/Knuthenborg_Safari_Park). In 1881, Bandholm became a parish in its own right.[1][2]

## Interior

There is no [altarpiece](/source/Altarpiece) in the church but three stained-glass windows decorate the east wall, the central one depicting the [Last Supper](/source/Last_Supper).[3] The church has a Busch organ, renovated by Starup & Søn in 1974.[4]
