Aunslev

History

Aunslev has been inhabited since the viking age, indicated by archaeological discoveries, such as a runestone and the Christ from Aunslev. The Christ from Aunslev is the oldest crucifix found in Denmark. It was found by a local villager, Dennis Fabricius Holm, who searched a field between the village and the church using a metal detector on 11 March 2016. The crucifix is a pendant necklace, with a height of 4.1 cm. and a weight of 13.2 g. The crucifix originates from the early 900s AD. Until this finding the Jelling Stones had been acknowledged as the first sign of Christianity in Denmark, why the Christ from Aunslev changes fundamental parts of the Danish history.
