The Jelling Church
Jelling, DK
The Jelling church is the fourth church to be built on the Viking burial site of the Jelling stones complex, a UNESCO world heritage site. The original church was built by the second king of Denmark, Harald Bluetooth, and was built out of wood. The current church was established in the 12th century and was built from marble. Archaeological excavations of the property have found a viking burial beneath the church that is widely believed to be the tomb of Gorm the Old, the first king of Denmark.
