Danish term or phrase: klapper
This comes from a description of a church in Helsingør. Not sure how to translate the phrase "stole, klapper og sæder" here. (chairs/pews, "klapper" and seats)?

"Følgende er hentet fra Rigsarkivet i København: ”Sankt Olai Kirkes fundats om jord og begravelser, klokker, ligsten, skolen og klokkerens løn med videre såvel som underretning om stole, klapper og sæder for 1716”. det fortæller hvor de havde købt en siddeplads i kirken og om betaling af jordskyld. Mænd sad i søndre side og kvinderne sad i nørre side af kirken."
