Borris Gamle Kirkegård - Sparkær, Danmark - Abandoned Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

Et par stenpiller viser indgangen til Boris gamle kirkegård som ellers er er vildnis af væltede træer, efeu og tilgroede gravsten.
Boris kirke med omkringliggende kirkegård lå på stedet til omkring 1905, hvor kirken blev solgt for 360 kr til en lokal tømmermester og derefter revet ned. Kirkengården har herefter ikke været i brug.
I 1905 blev den nye kirke Sparkær kirke indvidet. Den ligger ca 1 km fra den gamle Boris kirke og er mere centralt beliggende, hvilket var en af årsagerne til at Boris kirke blev nedlagt.
Når man går rundt på kirkegården forbavses man over det megen efeu som dækker alt. Og alligevel titter enkelte gravsten frem.
Et eksempel er gravstenen over Niels Ebbesen, Født 29. december 1835, død 19. december 1903

A couple of stone pillars show the entrance to Boris' old cemetery, which is otherwise a wilderness of fallen trees, ivy and overgrown tombstones.
Boris church with surrounding cemetery was on the site until around 1905, when the church was sold for 360 kr to a local carpenter and then demolished. The cemetery has since not been in use.
In 1905, the new church Sparkær church was inaugurated. It is located about 1 km from the old Boris church and is more centrally located, which was one of the reasons why Boris church was closed.
When you walk around the cemetery you are amazed at the many ivy that covers everything. And yet some tombstones peek out.
An example is the tombstone of Niels Ebbesen, born December 29, 1835, died December 19, 1903
