Skee Church, Medieval church in Strömstad Municipality, Sweden

The granite construction of Skee Church features distinct architectural elements, including a bell tower added in 1673 and extensions from the late 18th century.

Originally constructed in the 1100s, Skee Church underwent significant expansion during 1794-1795 to accommodate the increasing number of local worshippers in the region.

The church houses a black soapstone Madonna sculpture from the 1200s and an altarpiece dating back to 1490, representing medieval Swedish craftsmanship.

Located several kilometers east of Strömstad, the church maintains regular opening hours during summer months and remains accessible through Strömstads Pastorat administration.

The pulpit, crafted in 1671, came as a gift from Sven Ranck, the proprietor of Blomsholm manor, adding to the church's collection of historical furnishings.
