According to the Danish news-paper Berlingske Tidende the rare ruin of the wooden church in Aidt in Hvorslev, Denmark, is dated to about 1050-1150. The church has a chancel and a nave like the Romanesque churches, and so far no graves are found close to the ruin. It has 22 post-holes, which are 80 cm deep.

Remarkably, the present mediaeval church in Aidt is not situated on the ruin of the wooden church, because earlier it has been believed that mediaeval churches were situated on the ruins of wooden churches.

Christianity gained a firm footing in the 9th century, when the Danish king, Harald Bluetooth, was baptized on a visit to the Frankish king Louis the Pious, and on his return brought with him the missionary Ansgar. In the 11th century Christianity became generally accepted.
