Vejby Church (Danish: Vejby Kirke) is a Church of Denmark parish church situated in the little village of Vejby, between Tisvilde and Helsinge, Gribskov Municipality, some 60 km northwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of a Romanesque nave from the first half of the 12th century, tower and chancel from around 1500 and two porches from the 19th century. It is notable for its late Gothic fresco paintings in the chancel arch from the 15th century. The painter Ejler Bille is buried in the associated graveyard.
Interior
The interior is decorated with church frescos. Some of them were created by the Issefjord Workshop.[1]
