Vamlingbo Church

Vamlingbo Church stands as a Gothic stone structure with a spacious nave divided by four pillars made of alternating red and grey limestone.

The current church replaced an earlier stave church in the 14th century, and its tower reached 75 meters until lightning damage led to reconstruction in 1820.

Medieval murals on the northern wall depict the archangel Michael weighing Emperor Henry's soul, representing one of the largest such artworks in Gotland.

The church maintains its original function within the Diocese of Visby, offering regular services and ceremonies to the local community throughout the year.

The former rectory adjacent to the church includes a manor complex with four annexes and a main house displaying vernacular Rococo architecture from 1779.
