Getting to Church

Right up until the start of the 20th century it was usual to take the sea route to the Church. There were few who arrived by road. The quay here on Dolm was therefore the most common access point for those who attended Dolm church in the past. The quay is suitable for receiving simple rowing boats, but if for example there was a funeral and the mourners and coffin came with a barge or other large boat, then they had to dock at the ‘morgue’. That is the promontory that you can see behind the boat shed. The coffin and its entourage had to make their way to the church from there, and that is how it obtained the name ‘likberget’ (morgue).
