Churches in Møn is a self-guided tour of the island's medieval parish churches, located across Møn in southeastern Denmark. The route links whitewashed stone buildings with frescoed interiors, Romanesque fonts, and carved altarpieces from the 12th to 16th centuries. Each church stands in a village setting, with key examples at Elmelunde, Fanefjord, and Keldby.
