The old church is a typical medieval church building, built around 1200 in Romanesque style. For the time, the church is quite large with the nave, the choir and the sacristy. In the southeast corner of the choir is a unique stone with a carved lion ornament. The old church is a popular wedding venue.
To view the interior, you can get the two huge keys from the adjacent building - it's worth it.

On the upper part of the stone there is a figure of a lion, which is why the stone is also called the Lion Stone.
The lower part is decorated with a checkered pattern, which, like the checkerboard stones, appears as alternating light and dark fields. It also has the location on a corner of the church in common with many other checkerboard stones.
What is unusual, however, is that, despite its great height, it extends over several horizontal layers of frame stones.

Text from the information board:
Powerful knights and contacts with bishops and the town of Växjö shaped the history of Vederslöv. These contributed to the church being built and decorated inside and out with paintings and sculptures. In the triumphal arch between the nave and the choir there is a painting showing the bishop with a model of the church in his hand. This suggests that the bishop donated the medieval paintings. Perhaps he was also the founder of the church. Two of the finely hewn granite corner stones are decorated, one with a cross, the other with a lion.
