Sulsted Church, located inSulsted, a smallDanish town in northernJutland, just north ofAalborg, was constructedc. 1150–1200[1] and features a large number offrescos orkalkmalerier, all created in 1548 by Hans Maler fromRanders.[2]
Unlike other frescos in Danish churches, Sulsted's murals were not concealed with limewash after the Reformation and have survived to this day.
The frescos, which decorate the ceiling of the nave, depict the life ofJesus starting with his birth in the first section at the west end of the nave, continue with the beginning of his passion in the second or central section and end with his death on the cross in the third most easterly section. Those in the choir are of otherNew Testament images related to the creed and to theVirgin Mary.
