The largest of Bornholm's four medieval round churches, dating from around 1160, with white walls, a conical roof, buttresses and three storeys, the top one formerly a defensive post. Frescoes from around 1350.
The granite cliffs of the northeast coast, 6 km north of Gudhjem, with caves, rocks and a coastal trail. At the top sits the Museu de Arte de Bornholm (Bornholms Kunstmuseum), which houses works by the island's painters.
The small town on Bornholm's east coast, with red and yellow tiled-roof houses, a stone harbour, a craft brewery, glassblowers, a candy factory and a smokehouse.
