Kvols Church, 10 km northwest of Viborg
Kvols sogn, Fjends herred, Viborg amt.
The church bell & a simple and rare wooden cross
The high-placed church in Kvols has a Romanesque choir and nave in granite-ashlars. The ashlar-size is irregular. The walled-in south door is traceable outside, while the high round-arched north door is in use. Upon the north side of the nave is a bricked-up round arched window and a similar on the north side of the choir and in the east gable. Inside are beamed ceilings; the original choir arch is preserved with profiled kragbånd. The tower was built in the late Gothic period in re-used ashlars, raw boulder and monk bricks. Its bottom room is connected to the nave in a broad round arch and to the west is a round arched window with a monolit-cover stone. The porch is probably from the end of the 1800t, built in small bricks.
A simple altar piece in neo-Gothic with Thorvaldsen's Christ in plaster. Well-preserved late Gothic chalice ab. 1500 with a Latin minuskel-inscription. Baluster-shaped Renaissance candelabres ab. 1600 upon lion-figures. A late Romanesque thurible is in Viborg Museum. A Romanesque granite font with new-carved ornaments and a new foot. A baptismal bowl from ab. 1625. A simple, pretty pewter jug from the beginning of the 1800s. A pulpit in Renaissance, ab. 1575 with portal-fields under pretty, carved paternal and maternal coat of arms of Niels Kaas.
