    Tips

    July 23, 2022

    Today's church dates from 1598. However, some of the walls are much older. Even the free-standing, wooden belfry is impressive. Apparently the actual church tower could not support the weight of the bells. Because this and the nave "move" in opposite directions.

    The interior is almost entirely decorated with pictures using a special fresco technique. They show very lively scenes from the Bible, with the characters dressed in period clothing. Ancient goddesses are also depicted.

    In the threshold to the sacristy, as in other places, old rune stones were installed.

    The tomb of the patron, Anders Jordansson Ryttare från Närke, is now in the back left part of the church.

    And there are some interesting tombs in the cemetery.

    Opening times: daily from 11:00 a.m

    Guided tours: We had a very nice and patient guide 🙏
