Voel Church

A small church with a long history

Voel Church is located in Voel near Silkeborg and was consecrated on 2 August 1876 as Voel Chapel. The church was built because the residents of Voel, Sminge and Voel Østermark wanted a shorter journey to church than the trip to Tvilum.

Voel Church has a distinctive ceramic baptismal font and a large fresco covering the east wall above the altar. The decoration was funded by a Danish expatriate born in Voel.

Red brick architecture

Voel Church was designed as a cruciform church by architect C. Kiilsgaard from Hammel. The church stands on a plinth of hewn fieldstones, whilst the walls are built of small red bricks in a Romanesque-inspired style with round-arched windows and blind arcades.

The church has around 110 fixed seats and is therefore one of the smaller churches in Denmark. Above the west gable stands a small ridge turret with a pyramid-shaped roof, from which the church bell hangs.
