The church in Bred was built in 1836-37 and is a good example of what churches were supposed to look like at this time in the 19th century. The walls and ceiling are painted entirely white, while the pulpit, pews and gallery are grayish white. The eye is drawn to the large altarpiece with a large oil painting from 1839 showing Jesus being taken down from the cross.
The people of Bredbor had not been without a church before 1836; there had previously been a 14th-century church on the same site, but it had become both too small for the congregation and was considered to be poorly built, so it was demolished to provide air and light. Some furnishings from the old church were brought to the new one, such as a Madonna sculpture and some Christ figures. The pew furniture from 1747 was also reused.
