"The Cross Church at Danebod" was dedicated Sunday, June 16, 1895. It was built largely with volunteer labor and money pledged by the early settlers, who had little to give. The Danebod Colony was established by a church organization and became the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
Points of interest are: The altar chairs, kerosene lamps, architectural structure, wainscoting walls and ceiling, porthole windows as in a ship, hand-carving on the altar, pulpit and railing, the candelabra and altar cloth, handcarved stone baptismal font, the Star of Bethlehem in the church ceiling, Thorvaldsen's statue of Christ, the Celtic cross, and pictures in the narthex.
