Kumlinge Church, Medieval church in Kumlinge, Finland.

The church walls consist of differently colored fieldstones, contrasting with the typical red granite construction of other regional churches.

Initially established as a chapel under Sund's mother church, Kumlinge Church gained independence as a parish in 1478 with significant structural modifications.

The interior features extensive wall paintings from 1500, depicting scenes from Christ's childhood, the Passion, and various New Testament narratives.

Located at 6 meters above sea level, the church includes a single nave layout with the main entrance positioned on the southern facade.

The church contains a Mary shrine from 1250 with Nativity reliefs, indicating early Gothic influences from South Scandinavia or Northern Germany.
