Introduction
Østerlars is Bornholm's largest and most famous round church, built in the late 12th century with thick stone walls and a central pillar supporting two storeys, originally both a place of worship and a defensive stronghold. Inside survive medieval murals and ancient rune marks; a narrow stair climbs to the top for views over countryside and sea. A rare example of Nordic round-church form and a spiritual landmark of the 'island of the sun', it stands solemn and mysterious amid the fields.
