    On the site of the present church from the 13th century there had previously been a wooden church, the remains of whose foundations have been preserved under the floor of the nave.

      The old foundations were discovered in 1960. The baptismal font dates from the end of the 12th century, and the triumphal cross from the mid-13th century.
      A gravestone for Halvid in the adjacent cemetery bears the year of his death, 1338.

        Eskelhem is the name of the sock and the district.
        It is located in the western part of central Gotland, south of Visby. The history of the present-day town dates back to the Middle Ages. In 1897, a railway line was built from Klintehamm to Romakloster to transport sugar beets to the sugar refinery in Roma.
