The church of Saint Stefan
The Church of Saint Stefan is a small Free Church built near Igelsø in 1884 by the Lutheran Free Church. The congregation built the church themselves which cost DKK 5000. They could never afford a church bell, but the congregation lived far from each other and would have had limited use of it. In one end of the church there is a small flat where the the priest lived. Later it has being rented out on the recommendation of 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. For more information, look under "The village school"
The Free Church congregation covered a large part of mid and west Zealand, but in 1996 when the number of members shrunk to a few old people, they agreed to sell their church to the Cooperative Village Nyvang. Apart from the church itself the inventory was also traded, the church was inaugurated as occasion church on the 14th of April 2007, by the then bishop of Roskilde Jan Lindhart, With this the church became part of the established Danish Church, the bell was taken over from the Methodist Church in Kalundborg street i Holbæk. The pipe organcomes from the chapel of Ringkøbing.
The church can be rented for baptism, weddings, and especial services. Common services are held many times during the season.
