Granhult Church, Medieval wooden church in Småland, Sweden
The church structure incorporates logs placed horizontally, covered entirely with wooden shingles on both the exterior walls and the roof construction.
Built around 1220 with timber felled in 1217, Granhult Church stands as the oldest preserved wooden building in Sweden still in use.
The interior walls display biblical paintings from 1753 by Johan Christian Zschotzscher, along with fragments of medieval art on the triumphal arch.
The church opens daily from June through August between 8:00 and 18:00, with guided tours available for visitors during summer months.
The church features two separate entrance doors of different heights: a taller one designated for men and a lower one for women.
