The church of Saint Stefan...

The Church of Saint Stefan is a small Free Church, built near Igelsø in 1884 by the Evangelical- Lutheran Free Church. The congregation built the church themselves of yellow bricks with a slate roof and a copper-clad spire. It cost them DKK 5000 back then. They could never afford a church bell, but the congregation lived far from each other and would have had limited use of such.

In the one end of the church there is a small apartment for accommodation, where the church’s priest lived for a time being. Later it has been rented out upon recommendation from the Free Church congregation. A small house with a Sunday school classroom on the first floor and stables, with room for eight horses, in the cellar belong to the church. The travel stables were necessary because the members of the congregation lived far apart.The Free Church congregation covered a large part of mid and west Zealand, and when the number of members in 1996 had shrunk to a few older people, they agreed to sell their church to the Co-operative Village Nyvang.

Apart from the church house itself the inventory was also traded. The purpose is to inaugurate it, so it can be used occasionally in the future.

The church was consecrated 14. april 2007 by the bishop of Roskilde, Jan Lindhardt.
