This is Købelev Church.

This is Købelev Church. This the Luthern Church where Frank L Petersen and some of his siblings was probably christened. It is here where his birth is recorded under the name of Ferdinand Leonhard Pedersen.




Købelev Church was built around 1300 and restored in 1883 and 1970. The chancel gable wall is a beautiful architectural work. The churchs organ is one of the few Gudme company Organs, which are still existing. The altarpiece is a work by the famous church painter Eckersburg from 1841. The interior of the church contains a pew with the name of a smallholder Otto Kulds, engraved upon it. This is dated 1646.
