Suntaks gamla kyrka

The sandstone church features a nave, an apse-capped chancel, and walls covered with medieval lime paintings from different historical periods.

Built in the latter half of the 12th century, this Romanesque church represents one of only 47 apse churches among 500 medieval structures in Västergötland.

The wooden ceiling contains two paintings from 1769 by bell ringer Anders Wetterlind, depicting the Fall of Man and the Last Judgment.

Located at coordinates 58.1288, 13.8687, the church welcomes visitors who want to examine its architectural features and historical artifacts.

The church houses a replica of Suntakstolen, while the original 12th-century chancel chair with a carved wolf head resides in Västergötland Museum.
