  Rise Kirke

  1.43 km

  Rise Church is a parish church located in the northeastern end of the village of Rise near Rødekro.

  The church consists of a Romanesque choir and nave, both made of granite. In the choir, three of the original four windows still remain. Until the major fire in 1893, the original priest's door was also present. The three additions to the church were all built in the late Middle Ages, also using granite and monk stones. To the south, there is the church's chapel, covered by a vaulted ceiling.

  The original spire of the church burnt down, leading to the decision to replace the vault of the tower with a flat wooden ceiling. The tower was subsequently rebuilt using recycled materials from another burnt-down church.

  The interior walls of the church are whitewashed, and the ceilings are painted in gray boards. There are no frescoes. The church's furnishings are heavily influenced by the devastating fire of 1893, where the altarpiece, baptismal font, and pulpit survived. A crucifix and a canopy over the baptismal font also survived but were destroyed in a fire at the rectory in 1898. The oldest piece of furniture is the ancient baptismal font from the Romanesque period, adorned with carved leaves, among other things.

  The altar table and altarpiece were carved by a carpenter from Flensburg in 1894. The altarpiece features paintings depicting scenes from the Old Testament. The pulpit and its canopy, also from 1894, are carved from pine.

  There are gravestones dating back to 1831 and a stone from 1848 commemorating a hussar who fell in the First Schleswig War (1848-1851).

  There is also a monument to the fallen of the parish in World War I (1914-1918).

  The church's organ was built in 1894 by Marcussen & Søn in Aabenraa. It was expanded to a total of 22 stops from the original 12.

  The museum is externally build in the same sustainable wood plank / kernel tree from northern Sweden, from which all other wooden houses from the company are produced.

   

  The many exciting Eckersberg paintings, Skagen paintings and some other prominent painted works can now be seen by everyone.

   

  The works have so far hung on the walls of the company Christian Panbo A / S to the great pleasure of the employees, but now Christian Panbo has built his own Art Museum and hereby made it possible for everyone to access the beautiful paintings.

   

  Christian Panbo will most often be ar the museum himself and combines it with an additional desk and meeting table, so that he can still perform daily duties from the museum.

  Sikringsstilling Nord - Andholm Battery

  3.12 km

  The Andholm battery is part of the former fortification Sikringsstilling Nord which stretched from east to west with a total of approx. 800 bunkers. Andholm is one of the few batteries that was not blown to pieces. The post was on private land and the owner wanted to preserve a memory of the time. Today you can therefore see the three bunkers almost intact.

  In addition to the three bunkers, one can also see the hole where a railway brisk cannon should have been erected.

  From the car park opposite Ribevej 25, there is a couple of hundred meters walk to the three bunkers.

  Hjulgraven

  4.81 km

  The wheel pit in Hjordkær 

  In connection with a division into industrial plots, Haderslev Museum investigated the area here in 1980, because there were several plowed burial mounds. The largest mound was found to have been built in 4 stages, and had been used as a burial ground from the end of the Stone Age until well into the Bronze Age, with a different appearance for each burial. 

  The ancient burial site dates from the Bronze Age, where the oldest structure consists of a so-called Wheel Grave. It consists of a stone wreath with a diameter of approx. 10 m, from which 5 rows of stones are brought into the burial chamber in the middle. The wheel grave is the only known one of its kind in Denmark, and was moved 300 m south to its current location in a collaboration between Museum Sønderjylland and Aabenraa Municipality. This was done to make room for an industrial company. 

  When you cycle or walk on Hærvejen today, it is natural to take a break and visit the Hjulgraven in Hjordkær. It is very close to the route and is definitely worth a visit. 

  What is a burial mound? 

  A burial mound is a burial ground built over a burial site of earth, peat and stone. It can contain several graves. Most commonly, there is a primary grave in the center of the mound, but there can also be several secondary graves further up the mound. How the burial mound looks in terms of size and design is often linked to the status of the deceased.

  Graasten Palace

  23.21 km

  The very first palace in Graasten was a hunting and leisure palace built in the midst of the 16th century. After it burned down in 1603, a new palace was built, probably where the current palace´s south wing is now.

  Shortly before 1700 the Chancellor Frederik Ahlefeldt built an impressive Baroque palace, which itself unfortunately burned down in 1757, only leaving the palace church. The current Graasten Palace, or rather the south wing, thus originates from 1759. In 1842 the main building was added.

  In 1935 the right of use of the palace was given to the late King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid. Queen Ingrid was very interested in flowers and stood for the planning of the garden at Graasten Palace until her death in 2000. The interest in flowers and the garden was continued by her daughter H.R.H. Queen Margrethe II.

  There is no public access to the buildings and rooms of the palace, except from the palace church, who has special opening hours.

  The abdication in 2024

  During the New Year's speech in 2023, HM Queen Margrethe II announced her abdication and on 14 January 2024, Denmark got a new king and queen in the form of King Frederik X and Queen Mary.

  2024

  Graasten Palace Garden & Palace Church will be closed from 1 July - in connection with preparations for the royal family's summer recidence. However, the Palace Church will be open for church services and evening community singing.

Weather permitting, after the official reception, the Royal Couple will walk from Torvet via Slotsgade to Gråsten Castle. The royal couple will depart on Saturday 20 July and then H.M. Queen Margrethe II will be in summer residence.

  Guard replacement
  Once the palace is inhabited, a royal split flag goes to the top of the pole on the palace's bell tower and the Royal Life Guard sets up to guard. Every day there is a shift change of the Royal Life Guard. The guard starts from Det Gule Palæ, Ahlefeldtvej 5, where the new guard’s line up. Accompagniet by two tambours they march at 11.43 a.m. through Gråsten via Borggade, Torvet and Slotsgade to the palace, where the shift will take place at the guard house at 12.00. When King Frederik the X is in recidence, the march on Fridays is accompanied by the Royal Life Guards Tambour Corps and the changing of the guard takes place in the palace courtyard.
