"Kegnæs Church was built in 1615. The story about the building of this particular church is tragic in that Duke Hans the Younger had 7 peasants hanged because they were suspected of having stolen some meat from his pantry. When spring came and the ice at Sønderborg Castle melted, the meat was discovered in the castle moat. It had rotted and been discarded by the Duke’s employees because they did not dare tell the Duke about it. The church was built as penance for the unjust executions." Source: (visit link)
