Rinkenæs Old Church consecrated to St. Laurentius on August 10, 1158. The church is located on a hill 4 km north of Rinkenæs. Originally, the Romanesque church was surrounded by a village, which disappeared completely around the year 1300. According to tradition, the church was originally built as a chapel belonging to Kliplev Church. A rich widow gave the land for the church and paid what the construction cost, and the residents of the area transported the building materials to the site, in addition to providing the labor for the construction. The church bell from about 1500 was hung in a wooden bell stack, but was destroyed by a storm in 1884. Instead, the bell was later moved to the west gable, where it still hangs.
