"The pulpit was made by Jens Olufsen from Varde and installed in the church in 1637. Moses with the two tablets of the law, the four evangelists and the blessing Jesus carrying an apple of the cross are depicted on the fields. The pulpit originally had a sound cover. Only a small part of it remains with the inscription "H(er) / Peder Cl/avsøn / Sogne/ prest / 1637", which is attached to a bench in the choir."

About the church
Aal Kirke (until 2010 Ål Kirke) is a church of the Danish People's Church in the diocese of Ribe in Oksbøl in the parish of Aal Sogn.

Buildings and history
The church was built in several phases, with the nave being the oldest part. Archaeological investigations have dated this section to the end of the 10th century. The church was later expanded three times. The choir was built in the east, a sacristy on the north side and, around the year 1200, a church porch in the south. Male church visitors used to enter the building via the latter, while the women's entrance, which is now bricked up, was in the north. There used to be a porch in front of this too.
