History
History
Tranebjerg is first mentioned in 1424 as Tranberg, but has been inhabited long before that. Tranebjerg was the location of a castle, Brattingsborg Castle, in the 1100s-1200s. The castle was burned down by Stig Andersen Hvide in 1289, and not discovered again until 2008 where the castle's church was discovered.
Tranebjerg Church
Tranebjerg Church
Tranebjerg Church is located in Tranebjerg and was built in the late 1300s. The church has several embrasures, which indicate that the church has had a defensive role in the town. The altarpiece is from 1615. The church went through a significant restoration between 1866 and 1869, where all windows in the church was also replaced. There are two organs in the church, one from 1954 built in Kongens Lyngby, the other from 1909 and built in Horsens. A model ship from 1850 to 1851 hang in the church. It is a model of the ship of the line Christian VIII which was blown up in 1849 during the Battle of Eckernförde. It was donated in 1851 by local merchant Jens Peter Gylling and his wife Gjertrud Gylling. The church's turret clock is from the middle of the 1800s and made by A.H. Funch. Another turret clock from 1500s or 1600s was built in Eastern Jutland, and later donated to Samsø Museum after suffering severe rust. There are two bells in the church, one from 1400 to 1425 by Nicolaus Eskilii, the other from 1654 by Jørgen Hansen.
