Faces from the Past – The Epitaphs of Sæby Church Tell Their Stories

Step inside Sæby Church and experience how the interplay of architecture and art offers a vivid connection to past times. The various epitaphs and memorials provide unique insights into life when the church was a central gathering place and a site to honor those who contributed to the church and community.

When you enter a church, the combination of architecture and art provides a direct key to sensing other eras in an immersive and atmospheric way. The different epitaphs and memorials offer a special access to understanding what life was like at a time when the church served as a gathering point for all and simultaneously a place to remember those who made significant contributions to the church and society. Who were these individuals? And how did the artists express their stories? This month's story takes a closer look at some of the lives that still live on within the space of Sæby Church, exploring how art and history merge in the memory of these figures. The event will be held at Kystmuseet Sæby.
