Frommer's Staff

On the hill where the old Castle Swineburg stood, this Romanesque-Gothic church, dating from 1253, has a carillon of 27 bells, which ring four times a day. From the tourist office at Torvet, walk up the steps leading to the rise on which the church stands, overlooking the Old Town and the harbor, for a grand view. The church has a late-16th-century pulpit and altar, but nothing else to hold your attention for very long.
