Tejn Kirke (Bornholm)
Tejn is a harbour town on the north-eastern coast of the Danish island of Bornholm, south of Allinge-Sandvig. As of 1 January 2025, it has a population of 771. Initially a fishing village, it grew considerably during the 20th century as the harbour was enlarged on several occasions. The local fishing industry reached its peak in the 1970s and 1980s but has since decreased, with negative implications for the town's activities. Tourism The large harbour with both fishing vessels and pleasure craft is an impressive sight. As a result of its westerly location and the protection offered by the surrounding heights, it can be accessed without danger in all weathers. The post mill standing high above the harbour was built around 1800 in Årsballe but some 50 years later it was moved to Tejn where it continued to operate until 1941. Now a listed building, it has been well preserved but is not open to the public. In the adjoining village of Sandkås there are several hotels, guest houses a ...

Functionalism (architecture)
In architecture, functionalism is the principle that buildings should be designed based solely on their purpose and function. An international functionalist architecture movement emerged in the wake of World War I, as part of the wave of Modernism. Its ideas were largely inspired by a desire to build a new and better world for the people, as broadly and strongly expressed by the social and political movements of Europe after the extremely devastating world war. In this respect, functionalist architecture is often linked with the ideas of socialism and modern humanism. A new slight addition to this new wave of architecture was that not only should buildings and houses be designed around the purpose of functionality, architecture should also be used as a means to physically create a better world and a better life for people in the broadest sense. This new functionalist architecture had the strongest impact in Czechoslovakia, Germany, Poland, the USSR and the Netherlands, and from th ...
