Tågerup Church is a Romanesque parish church located 4 km southeast of Rødby on the Danish island of Lolland. Dating from the beginning of the 13th century, its nave is richly decorated with early 16th-century frescos painted by the Brarup workshop.
The church was originally dedicated to Our Lady as documented in a letter of indulgence from 1470. An altar dedicated to the Virgin Mary attracted large numbers of pilgrims on the Feast of the Annunciation until 1636. Little is known about the church's early ownership apart from the fact that the Crown had clerical appointment rights before the Reformation. The church remained under the Crown until 1725 when it was transferred to Emmerence von Levetzau together with Aalholm and Bremersvold. It continued to be owned by Bremersvold until it gained independence in 1911.
Tågerup Church lies in a small and idyllic village and is built about 1220. It is known for the beautiful frescos from the end of 1500 century inside. A viking runestone from 970-1020 is standing outside at the porch. It was found on a field in 25 March 1868. Unfortunately it lay with the viking inscription down and it was split into two pieces before the rune characters was discovered.
