Culture and historic sites

Rosmus Church is located at Rosmus Bygade 26, 8444 Balle. It has a Romanesque nave and a Romanesque chancel. The oldest piece of inventory in the church is a Romanesque granite baptismal font decorated with lions. This means that a visit to the church can be explored through both its architecture and a specific item of church furnishings.

Balle Dysse also provides a clear historical focus. It dates from approximately 3400 BC and is a fully preserved round dolmen in a burial mound immediately north of Balle. Balle Dysse can be reached via a footpath from a marker post at the roadside, across the field and to the burial mound. The route described is therefore an important point of orientation when planning to visit this destination.

If you are travelling by regional bus, route 123 runs between Grenå and Ebeltoft; you get off in Balle and walk 2 kilometres from there. The journey can therefore be clearly divided into getting off in Balle and the subsequent walk.
