The church Website has contact information and a page of photos of the building and a page about the new clock controls; unfortunately there is no other mention of these bells, which are unusual for Denmark.  A downloadable PDF provides a 1993 document on bell ringing from the Church Ministry, but provides no local information.

The Danish Wikipedia article about the building has a photo of it, but does not mention any bells.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Taylor bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
