Gann Church, Medieval church ruin in Lärbro socken, Sweden

The stone structure features a nave, chancel, and tower, with remaining walls displaying the architectural elements of 13th-century religious buildings.

The church served its community until the 16th century, when changes brought by the Protestant Reformation led to its gradual abandonment.

The remaining walls of the chancel contain medieval mural paintings that demonstrate the artistic techniques and religious symbolism of medieval Swedish churches.

Visitors can access the church ruins throughout the year and observe the preservation work completed in 1924 that stabilized the remaining structures.

The site holds official recognition in the Fornminnesregistret, Sweden's national register of archaeological monuments, marking its status among protected heritage locations.
