1. Nyord Kirke
Nyord Church on the island of Nyord near Møn is centrally located in the town, where most roads lead to and around the church. Nyord Church's octagonal shape fits perfectly with the plot of land on which the church stands. And that's probably the practical reason for its floor plan. In 1846 there was a piece of unused land of the "fort", i.e. the village land around and between the farms. A possible model for the church is Charlemagne's, the Frankish emperor's, 8-pointed castle chapel from c.800 in Aachen.
2. Svinø Kirke
Svinø Church is the parish church for Svinø Parish, Vordingborg Municipality and is relatively new, as it was built in the year 1900 in red brick with choir, nave, and a low bell tower. The construction took place at the request of the women on Svinø. And despite a population base of 250 people, they collected about half of the construction costs.
