Allinge Church, located in the heart of Allinge-Sandvig on Bornholm, Denmark, is a significant historical and architectural site. Originally constructed as a small granite longhouse around the 14th century, the church has undergone various modifications and renovations. In 1892, architect Mathias Bidstrup led a comprehensive renovation, during which the eastern part of the church was reconstructed, adding two transepts and a chancel, giving it its current Neo-Gothic style. The church's exterior is notable for its yellow limewashed walls and old oak-tiled roof.
One of the notable features of Allinge Church is its Frobenius organ, installed in the north transept in 1962. The Frobenius organ is renowned for its craftsmanship and tonal quality, fitting seamlessly into the church's historical and aesthetic context. The interior also boasts artifacts like a Renaissance pulpit from 1650, adorned with ten carved panels depicting statues of the evangelists, and a granite font dating back to 1890. The altarpiece, originally from around 1625, has been relocated to the far end of the chancel. These elements together create a rich historical and cultural tapestry, making Allinge Church a prominent site for both worship and heritage on Bornholm.
The church's unique architecture and historical significance, combined with its musical heritage through the Frobenius organ, make it a compelling destination for visitors interested in history, architecture, and music. The church stands out with its distinctive yellow color and has been an essential part of the local community for centuries, reflecting the architectural and cultural evolution of the region.
