Rö Church

The stone structure features Gothic architecture with roughly hewn stones, a single nave, and decorated medieval brick vaults throughout the interior space.

Built during the second half of the 13th century, the church replaced an earlier wooden structure and received internal brick vaults with painted frescos around 1475.

The interior houses a collection of religious art, including the Romanesque Rö Madonna sculpture from the early 13th century and medieval wooden figures.

The church grounds include a cemetery with an entrance combining a lychgate and bell tower, constructed in 1806, containing two bells from the 18th century.

The church frescos display an uncommon scene depicting the story of the grateful dead, along with representations of Nordic saints not found in neighboring churches.
