Tilsandede Kirke

The Tilsandede Kirke, or Buried Church, was erected during the late 14th century and was once the biggest church in the region, but in time it fell victim to a sand drift that began in the 17th century and became progressively worse - so much so that churchgoers eventually had to dig their way into God's sacred building. In 1795 the relentless sand drift broke the will of the congregation and the church was closed by royal decree.

The main part of the church was torn down in 1810 but the whitewashed tower still stands. It was used as a navigational tool for sailors back in the early days.
