[[Birkerød Church]] is a traditional Danish parish church whose oldest parts date from the late 12th and early 13th century. The tower was built in the late 15th century, the current chancel in about 1500 and the porch in 1525.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nordenskirker.dk/Tidligere/Birkeroed/Birkeroed_kirke.htm|title=Birkerød Kirke|language=da|publisher=Nordens Kirker|access-date=5 December 2015|archive-date=31 January 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110131085928/http://nordenskirker.dk/Tidligere/Birkeroed/Birkeroed_kirke.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Parish of Bistrup was disjoined from that of Birkerød in 1963 and its church was inaugurated in 1967.
