Nylars

Nylars is a village located on the island of Bornholm, Denmark. It is situated in the western part of the island, approximately 7 kilometers east of Hasle. Historically, Nylars is known for its well-preserved round church, Nylars Kirke, one of four such churches on Bornholm.

Nylars Kirke, dating back to around 1150 AD, is a significant historical landmark and a popular tourist attraction. The church served not only as a place of worship but also potentially as a defensive structure. It features thick walls, a conical roof, and an upper floor that could have been used for storage or refuge. The interior of the church is adorned with medieval frescoes.

The village itself is characterized by its traditional Danish architecture and rural setting. Agriculture has historically been a significant part of the local economy. In modern times, tourism related to the church and the island's natural beauty contributes to the area's economy. Nylars offers visitors a glimpse into Bornholm's rich history and cultural heritage.
