Jon's Chapel

Jon's Chapel is a rock cave, also known as a "dry kiln", formed as a result of the waves repeatedly hitting the rock. Jon was sent to the island to spread Christianity. He lived in this cave where curious Bornholmers came down to visit him. He told stories from the Bible and soon the crowds were so large that space in the cave became cramped. So he stood on the rock and continued preaching from there so that everyone could hear him. Later, a pulpit was carved on top of the rock where, according to the story, Jon had stood.
