  • The Sand-Covered Church (pictured) is a 13th-century Danish churchthat was buried under the sand from the nearby dunes during the 18th century, leaving only the church tower still visible?
  • Ha, it's a bit short at this moment; bear with us. Also, Hafspajen, I have edited the hook a bit to make it shorter. This is a work in progress. Thanks to Hafspajen for nominating this, and, DYK volunteer, can you please add Hafspajen as a creator of this article, not just as nominator? Tack sa mycket, Drmies (talk) 18:13, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

This seems to contain an awful lot of "facts" which aren't mentioned in the source, most notably the claim that the village itself was buried. This isn't mentioned in the cited source, in the official history of the church, or on Wikipedia's articles on Skagen or Råbjerg Mile. Unless sources can be found, this shouldn't go on the main page with an extraordinary uncited claim. I've already removed two other uncited claims - that the church was "built in the 13th century" (the cited source says the late 14th century) and that St Lawrence was "the patron saint of sailors". 188.31.30.153 (talk) 18:29, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
