Härlanda Church Ruins are the stone remains of a medieval place of worship in Gothenburg. The visible walls and structural elements show how religious buildings were constructed during that period.
The ruins began as a church constructed in the early 12th century. It was torn down in 1528 on the orders of King Gustav I to make way for other regional projects.
The stones reveal how medieval communities built and used their places of worship. Looking at what remains shows the construction methods and design choices that mattered to people back then.
