Which building, completed in 1888 in the little village of Ro, replaced a building in the architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches?
Rø Church Rø Church is a parish church located in the little village of Rø in the north of the Danish island of Bornholm. Completed in 1888, it replaces a Romanesque building from c. 1200 which was demolished in 1887 as a result of structural problems. Built in the New Romanesque style, the church is more or less a copy of its predecessor. The altarpiece and pulpit are from the beginning of the 17th century. The Frobenius organ was installed in 1955.
Apse In architecture, an apse (plural apses; from Latin "absis": "arch, vault" from Greek ἀψίς "apsis" "arch"; sometimes written apsis, plural apsides) is a semicircular recess covered with a hemispherical vault or semi-dome, also known as an "Exedra". In Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic Christian church (including cathedral and abbey) architecture, the term is applied to a semi-circular or polygonal termination of the main building at the liturgical east end (where the altar is), regardless of the shape of the roof, which may be flat, sloping, domed, or hemispherical. Smaller apses may also be in other locations, especially shrines.
