Gann Church, Church ruin in Lärbro socken, Gotland, Sweden

Gann Church ruin stands north of Lärbro on Gotland, with a nave, chancel and a tower resting on the west wall of the nave. The tower was presumably built in the late 13th century. Mural paintings survive in the chancel and its arch.

Gann Church was built in the 13th century for Gann parish, north of Lärbro on Gotland. Its tower was presumably added in the late 13th century. The church was probably abandoned as early as the 16th century, though services were still held sporadically into the 17th century. The ruin was conserved in 1924.

The ruined church is tied to a local legend: on Midsummer Day 1692 the hymn writer Israel Kolmodin arrived early for service, walked to nearby Hångers källa, and was inspired there to write "Den blomstertid nu kommer". The hymn is still sung at Swedish school graduations.

The ruin stands in open farmland north of Lärbro, reached by minor roads; there is no visitor facility or fixed opening time. The walls were conserved in 1924, so the nave, chancel and tower footings can be walked around. Ground can be uneven and grazed; wear sturdy shoes and leave gates as you find them.

A local legend says that on Midsummer Day 1692 the hymn writer Israel Kolmodin arrived early for high mass at Gann. While waiting he walked to nearby Hångers källa, and the spring there inspired him to write "Den blomstertid nu kommer", still one of Sweden's best-known summer hymns.
