Ardre Church, Medieval church in Gotland Municipality, Sweden

Ardre Church is a small single-nave limestone church on Gotland, with a Romanesque tower from about 1200, a nave and choir built around 1250, and a sacristy added in 1801. The tower has a spire and a 1902 hood; the saddle roof is covered with black tarred shingles. The choir has a Romanesque portal with carved capitals.

The tower, built around 1200, belonged to an earlier 12th-century church; the nave and choir were replaced around 1250, and the sculpted choir portal was reused from that earlier building. The sacristy was added in 1801. A restoration in 1900–1902 under Axel Haig gave the interior its Neo-Medieval wall paintings and furnishings.

The church has been the parish church of Ardre since the Middle Ages and belongs since 2005 to Garde församling. Its benches from 1902 link Neo-Gothic forms with motifs borrowed from the 17th-century pulpit. West of the church stands the old school, now a parish hall, beside the foundations of a square medieval tower 15 by 14 metres.

The building and adjacent cemetery are typically accessible to visitors during daytime hours. It is worth checking local opening times since the church remains active for services under the Diocese of Visby.

The organ facade was drawn by Axel Herman Hägg for the 1902 renovation, inspired by medieval French organs. The instrument itself was built in 1900 by Åkerman & Lund and is now in storage; a mechanical organ by J. Künkels Orgelverkstad followed in 1990, with a facade by Ture Jangvik copied from Hägg's 1902 design.
