 Around the monument, the corners of the church are indicated now by edge-raised natural stones.The ”church owner” wanted to build a new church in Assentoft, but the local parish superintendency would that a new church like the old one should stand outside the village.The Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Public Instruction, which mediated communication between the two parties, estimated in 1866 that they could not agree, but in October 1868 the construction of a new church was begun in Assentoft.
