Herstedøster Church (Danish: Herstedøster Kirke) is located on the northern outskirts of Albertslund, Albertslund Municipality, Denmark. In medieval times, the Romanesque church was dedicated to Saint Nicholas. Its tower dates from the late-Gothic period, reflecting architectural developments added after the original construction. The church interior was given a major renovation in 1994 by Alan Havsteen-Mikkelsen.[1] In 1973, R. Smalley discovered frescoes dated to around 1175, probably the date of origin of the church.[1] On 1 February 2009, a major fire broke out at the church.[2]
