Ivy does well in northern Europe thanks to the climate. It will tug entire buildings back to nature's roots if left untamed.

Which way is east? Follow the descending roof lines of Nødebo church as they point in the direction of the apse (the half dome). The nave is to the west, the chancel is in the middle, and the apse is at the east end. An eastern orientation was typical of medieval European churches. The original church on this site dated from the 12th century. [1984]
