Olsker Round Church was built around 1150, but has been rebuilt and reinforced several times, most recently in the mid-20th century, when the altarpiece was among the things replaced.
Olsker Round Church had originally a flat roof
If you climb the steep stairs, you'll soon understand why it was impossible for invading enemies to capture the church in Olsker. There are nine foxholes and the top of the wall clearly formed part of the parapet that surrounded the original flat roof of the church.
