==Church frescos== Jacob Kornerup was responsible for the uncovering and restoration of Romanesque frescos in the apse and on the triumphal wall in 1862. It is believed that they were created by the Jørlunde Workshop (1150–1175), which was associated with the Hvide family. More frescos were discovered on the north wall of the chancel in connection with a renovation of the church in 1973.<ref name="Nordens Kirker">{{cite web|url=https://www.nordenskirker.dk/Tidligere/Hagested_kirke/Hagested_kirke.htm|title=Hagested kirke|language=Danish|website=danmarks-kirker.dk|accessdate=22 September 2021}}</ref>
