Horne Church (Danish: Horne Kirke) was established in the Late Middle Ages on the southwest part of the island of Funen, Denmark. This church, founded as a Catholic place of worship, is situated in the village of Horne. The church no longer serves as a Catholic parish; it now belongs to the lutheran Church of Denmark. Horne Church is the only round church on Funen. Originally constructed from granite stonework, it was modified in the 15th century with the addition of Gothic extensions on the east and west.
The history of Horne Church is inextricably tied to Hvedholm Manor, located about 2 km (1.2 mi) to the south and to the noble family Brahe associated with that estate. Several of the church's content items date from the 17th century and earlier; one of the original possessions is a medieval evangeliary known as the Horne Book, a national treasure of Denmark that is held by the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen.[1]
