St. Clement’s Church (Klemens Kirke)

St. Clement’s Church (Klemens Kirke) Like a number of Bornholm’s localities, the name Klemensker is derived from its church, Sankt Clemens Kirke, the suffix -ker denoting church in the local dialect.There is documentary evidence of a St. Clement’s Church from as early as 1335 when it is referred to in Latin as beati Clementis parrochia but the present church, constructed on the hilltop site of a former building, was completed in 1882, standing 114 meters above sea level. The interior renovation from 1960 includes work by Paul Høm from Gudhjem.
