Fanefjord Kirke
A fascinating Møn church, 13th-century Fanefjord Kirke is adorned with superb frescoes. The oldest, from 1350, depicts St Christopher carrying Christ across a ford, but most of the vaults are covered with a cartoon-like ‘paupers’ Bible’ by the ‘Elmelunde master’. Unique images include a gruesome one of Judas, with two devils pulling out his soul; Mary on doomsday, tipping the judgement scales in humanity’s favour; and a gleeful horny-kneed demon listening to two women gossiping! You can see the master’s signature (which resembles a stick man with rabbit ears) on an altar-facing rib in the northeastern vault.

Kong Asgers Høj
Kong Asgers Høj is northwest of Røddinge, just by the roadside – there’s nowhere to park. This is Denmark’s largest passage grave, with a burial chamber 10m long and more than 2m wide. Bring a torch (flashlight) and watch your head.
