Neat church in Alböke. Information ums Gebäude von der Webbseite der schwedischen Kirche: The church In Alböke was built sometime in the middle of the 12th century a stone church consisting of apse, nave and west tower. As the threat from the Baltic Vikings increased, an east tower was also built and the church strengthened. It thus took the form of a hoof saddle church. Klövsadelkyrkan was built in an east-west direction with the choir in the east. The increase in population made the medieval church cramped and in 1859 it was decided to build a new church. The drawings were made by Albert Törnquist and the work was led by builder Peter Isberg, Algutsrum. Klövsadelkyrkan remained while the construction was going on and the new church was built perpendicular to it in a north-south direction. This meant that the choir and the sacristy were placed in the north. When the nave and chancel were completed, the medieval church was demolished and where its nave once stood, a new stone tower was erected from the medieval church. The church was inaugurated in 1862. The new church is dominated both internally and externally by neoclassical style features as the round arched windows, the bright church room and the wooden barrel vault of the ceiling. In the interior, however, there are also older stylistic features represented as furniture has been transferred from the old church. Most prominent are the pulpit and the altarpiece, both from the end of the 18th century and made in the Rococo style.
