Historical significance
Asmild Church has been a bishopric since around 1060. Among the most famous bishops is Gunner, who co-authored the Jutlandic Law. His importance to the area is commemorated with a statue by the car park. South of Asmild Church was an Augustinian monastery, and the church served as both monastery church and parish church until the Reformation.
Architectural gems
The church was originally a three-nave church with two towers, but today only the walls of the centre nave remain. There is a small museum in the tower room that provides a fascinating insight into the history and architecture of the church.
