Krämarekapellet

Krämarekapellet features limestone sculptures on its exterior walls, including three preserved evangelist symbols on supporting pillars and religious figures on the western gable.

The chapel, first mentioned in archives from 1473, was built around 1460 following the collapse of Saint Peter's Church tower in 1442.

The interior walls display Nordic medieval paintings from two periods, including significant motifs of Christ as Judge and Christ in the Wine Press.

The chapel now serves as a baptistery, containing a baptismal font from 1601 and floor covered with ancient gravestones from the 1904-1906 restoration.

The western gable features a series of saint sculptures carved from chalk stone plates, with the Virgin Mary and Jesus figure twice the size of others.
