Nylars Rundkirke, located in the village of Nylars on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, is one of the island's famous round churches. These distinctive architectural structures are notable for their circular shape, which is relatively rare in church architecture and particularly prevalent on Bornholm. Nylars Church, built around 1165, is the best-preserved of Bornholm's four round churches. It features a robust, fortress-like structure with thick walls and a central pillar supporting the vaults of the upper floors. This design was likely intended to serve both as a place of worship and as a defensive structure during times of conflict.

Inside Nylars Rundkirke, there is a Neo-Baroque organ built by the Danish organ building firm B. Christensen & Sønner in 1972. The organ features six stops, one manual, and a pedalboard, with a mechanical tracker action that provides a direct, tactile connection between the keys and the pipes. This design choice reflects the Neo-Baroque style's emphasis on clarity, precision, and the revival of Baroque-era organ building principles. The organ complements the acoustics of the church's stone interior, making it an integral part of both worship services and musical performances.
