Sæby Kirke is all that remains of a four-winged Carmelite monastery dating from 1470. Its visually imposing exterior is coupled with an interior that boasts beautiful frescoes from the Middle Ages and a 16th-century pulpit and canopy.
From the church you can readily access the harbour (take the path marked ‘Kirkestien’ behind the church).
