Kirker

Photo: VisitVejen

Området byder på tre forskellige typer kirker: de gamle landsbykirker, de nyere kirker i stationsbyerne, der opstod, da jernbanen mellem Kolding og Esbjerg blev bygget, og højskolekirkerne i Askov og Rødding. Alle kirkerne har unikke og helt særlige elementer. 

Bonus tip: Denne artikel er en nem tilgængelig introduktion til kirkers indretning, funktion og interiør til dig, der er nysgerrig på denne del af dansk kultur og bygningsarv, og en god baggrundsviden til dig, der er nysgerrig men også lidt blank på det med kirker.
