Lynæs Kirke, Hundested
Facts and practical information
Lynæs Church is located in the southern Hundestedbydel Lynæs. The church, which was consecrated on 8 September 1901, was designed by architect Andreas Clemmensen. The church consists of a choir and nave, with a porch to the south and a tower to the north. In 1944 the sacristy, designed by architect Adam Møller, was added. In 1958-59, the choir was extended to double its size and a side aisle and chapel were added, designed by architect Rolf Graae.
Architect Andreas Clemmesen chose split boulder as the building material, partly inspired by the Romanesque style and partly by the church's location on a heather-clad site.
The limestone baptismal font dates from the construction of the church, while the brick pulpit with wooden canopy and the oak pews were built during the rebuilding in 1958-59. Lynæs Church was given a total of 350 permanent seats when it was rebuilt and has therefore been called "the cathedral of village churches".
