Churches & Monasteries

Ringsted has some 14 churches in the region and they are certainly worth a visit.

The Church of Sct. Bendt is the only building left of Ringsted Kloster, the Benedictine monastery that burnt down in the 18th century. It is the oldest brick church in Scandinavia and dates back as far as 1170 A.D., when it was built to replace the travertine church erected around 1080.
Opening hours: From 1 May-15 September: daily from 10-12 and 13-17. Rest of the year from 13-15.
