Jegindø Church - Thyholm
Jegindø Church is beautifully located where all the island’s roads meet, and its large white building can be seen far across the waters of the Limfjord. Due to a strong Inner Mission revival on the island, the old church could no longer accommodate the growing congregation, and in 1919 the new, spacious church was built. The original chancel was preserved.
Construction cost 65,000 kroner, of which 12,000 were raised locally.
The eastern part of the old church now serves as sacristy and clergy room. The granite blocks reveal that a church has stood here since the time of King Valdemar. Many gravestones show that the island’s former fishing families came from the Harboøre area.
Inside, the large white vaults make a striking impression. The altarpiece was crafted by Hans Snedker in 1598. The painting of Jesus on the cross is from 1880, while the inscriptions of the Lord’s Prayer, baptismal command, and words of institution date from 1750, along with the Latin text: Beati, qvi ad coenam nuptiarum agni vocati sunt – Blessed are those invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. The side panels feature small pietist paintings, and at the top, Jehovah’s name appears in Hebrew letters flanked by angel heads.
The pulpit from 1640 has unusual imagery: John with a chalice and book, Christ with the globe, and Paul with the sword of the Word. A Latin inscription reads: Anno 1654. Jesus Salvator, salva nos – Year 1654, Jesus the Savior, save us.
In the wide chancel, frescoes from 1919 include eight embedded scripture passages. The baptismal font from the original church holds a small Nuremberg basin from around 1575, depicting the Fall of Man.
In the side nave hangs a beautifully crafted model of the frigate "Dannebrog", with a porcelain figurehead. Remarkably, 38 pew ends from 1643 have been preserved. The organ loft, installed by Rasmus Snedker in 1647, was also moved from the old church.
The church’s two bells date from 1463 and 1947. In 2007, a carillon with 11 bells was added, playing daily at 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21.

At one time, Jegindø was two small , low-lying islands separated by a stretch of water just south of Jegindø Church. This stretch of water is now a low meadow running across the island to the south of the church.
Until the causeway to Jegindø was built in 1916, the inkeeper af Tambohus Kro was entitled by royal charter to operate a ferry service across Tambosund.
There are no hill on Jegindø - the highest point of the island is just 13 m above sea level. This fertile island has been inhabitated for thousands of years, and in many places it is still possible to find the remains of Stone Age settlements.
The fishing has always been good in the very changeable waters around Jegindø, and the people of the island relied as much on fishing as on agriculture for their livelihood.
By the harbour, which has been extended to include a marina, stands the little museum "Æ Fywerhus", which displays exhibitions about fishing on Jegindø in years gone by.

The Holy Spring - Thyholm
Where the railroad crosses Meldgårdsvej southeast of Hvidbjerg this magnificent Holy Spring is found, from where pure cold spring water constantly wells up from the ground, even in periods of drought.
In 1976 the well was attractively restored, and visitors were given access by a new path.
The spring is first mentioned in the year 1360, but already existed when the earliest population of hunters and fishermen arrived in these districts after the retreat of the ice. The spring has held so much water that it was able to drive a complete water mill at Helligkildegård, where the dam may still be seen. People still gathered around the holy spring well around 1880.

Søndbjerg Church
In Søndbjerg the church stands in the village with its houses and farms just as it did when it was built 800 years ago. This is what a Romanesque church looks like. Here is nave, chandler, apse, and Søndbjerg church has even had a tower from the beginning. This is proved by the inner tower arch. This may have been meant to emphasize the importance of the place. Søndbjerg was originally #sønder birk" = the southern judicial district, which was the Thingstead, where the court sat.
The footing stone under the south west corner of the tower is a runic stone whose inscription says: "Jacob caused, Skjalm did, where the altar is, there the eye is". Perhaps the stone was originally under the Communion table. Fairly early a new tower was built, maybe after a fire.
Over the south door of the church is a semicircular lintel, a so-called tympanum. A cross has been carved in the stone. Above the arms of the cross two birds are trying to come to the cross. Below the arms two lions are running away from the cross. Furious that they are unable to catch the birds, they have to content themselves with biting their own tails. The symbolism is clear: The birds are the souls of human beings, and the lion is Satan, who "walks about like a roaring lion and seeks whom he can swallow".
On the north wall is a well preserved crucifix from the second half of the 1300s. Also the wooden cross with the symbols of the four evangelists and the inscription "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" are well preserved. The pictures of the apostles from a former organ loft are in the tower room.
The baptismal font, which seems to have become brittle in a fire, has a newer basin with Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist as a motif.
In the small chancel there are vaults with remains of frescoes from the time before the Reformation. But the present frescoes were painted after the Reformation. The angels have been ordered to find every musical instrument in Heaven in order to rejoice together with the congregation at Søndbjerg church over "the new day of the Gospel". The altar piece from about 1600 has scenes of the Passion, and in the top section the Resurrection.
In the tower the bell hangs in a big belfry light to the north so its sound can be heard as far away as in Tambohuse in the north eastern corner of the parish. An old legend tells that a son from Helleris, one farm, seduced the daughter from Østergård, another farm. They ran away together. Chased by the girl's relatives the couple sought shelter in Søndbjerg church. As the Østergård-people could not get in, they set the church on fire. After helping the girl to escape through a window the Helleris son died in the flames. On her way from there the girl gave birth to a son in Kvinddal, a valley. As an adult he revenged his father's death.

Inside the main building, one can see how a well-off family lived in the last century. Additionally, there is a pharmacy, the old executive office of Hvidbjerg Bank, and the telephone exchange from Uglev. In the attic, visitors can experience the maternity ward of Hvidbjerg Hospital, which operated until around 1972.
In the farm building, there are exhibitions about crafts, such as lead roofing, shoemaking workshop, carpentry tools, ladies' hairdressing salon, etc. There is a diverse radio/TV exhibition showcasing the development in the field. Several models are already historical.
Adjacent to this, there is an exciting exhibition from Greenland with artifacts and paintings.
In 1997, a faithful replica of the old Søndbjerg school was inaugurated, housing a classroom.
Wilsehaven - inaugurated in 2013 - is a miniature version of J.N. Wilse's baroque garden at the rectory in Spydeberg, Norway. (J.N. Wilse (1736 - 1801) was the son of a pastor from Søndbjerg who went to Norway, where he served as a pastor, professor, and enlightenment figure).
It can be documented that the "Apothekergården" itself has historical value, as the main building can be traced back to at least 1664.
The "Apothekergården" was turned into a museum on the initiative of the painter Kresten Rusbjerg, who owned the place until 1990. He lived from the inauguration in 1992 until his death in 2010 in an annex built in connection with the museum.
