Rø Kirke, located in the village of Rø on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, is a charming example of Danish ecclesiastical architecture with a history that stretches back centuries. The current church building is relatively modern, having been constructed in 1888 after the original medieval church was demolished due to structural concerns. The church's simple yet elegant design reflects the traditional Danish style, with clean lines and a serene interior that offers a peaceful atmosphere for worship.
The organ in Rø Kirke was built by the well-known Danish organ building firm T. Frobenius & Co in 1955. This Neo-Baroque organ features 7 stops, one manual, and a pedalboard, with a mechanical tracker action that is known for its relatively tough key action. This design choice aligns with the Neo-Baroque style, which emphasizes a more tactile and responsive playing experience, reminiscent of the organs from the Baroque period. The organ is similar to another instrument built by Frobenius in Knudsker, but unlike that organ, the one in Rø does not have a swell system on the facade.
