Lundby Old Church, Medieval church in Kyrkbyn, Sweden

The Lundby Old Church features a Gothic architectural design with a bell tower added in 1634 and stone walls that reflect medieval construction methods.

The church foundations date back to January 17, 1301, making it one of the seven preserved medieval churches remaining in the Gothenburg region.

The interior displays noble family coats of arms, including those of Cronacker, Eketrä, and Ihre, with the Ihre chapel still standing at the southern wall.

Visitors can explore the church and its 1.7-hectare churchyard containing 1700 graves during regular Sunday opening hours from 14:00 to 16:00.

The church contains a Romanesque baptismal font from an earlier wooden church that existed on the same location before the current structure.

Location: Gothenburg Municipality

Inception: 14 century
