Kumlaby medieval church was built in the 15th century and covered with beautiful lime wash paintings that still are there. The church tower has a platform that was used for astronomical observations during the 17th century when the building served as a school. Today you can climb up to the platform and enjoy the wonderful view. Just nearby lies the 17th century vicarage that today serves as centre for the local folklore society.


The Brahe church, built on a medieval foundation, got its current look in the 17th century. The church was then chapel to Visingsborg castle, the residence of count Per Brahe junior. During the count's era the church was filled with works of art from all of Europe and became a mixture in the fashion of time of church, family memorial temple and art museum. The church is abundantly decorated with paintings, silver objects and woodcarvings. It's well worth a visit.
