Churches in Køge
All churches in the Køge Bay region are extremely well preserved. The most interesting is St. Nicolai Church in Køge, which is worth a visit with its splendid wood carvings, an impressive altarpiece and several tombs in the church floor. In summer, you can climb the 44 metre high church tower to enjoy the view across the town and the bay. Before you visit the local churches, it is recommended to check their opening hours.
