Fole Church

The church structure combines a Romanesque tower from 1200 with Gothic elements in the nave and choir sections, built primarily from limestone blocks.

Construction of Fole Church began around 1200, with major renovations in the mid-13th century leading to its inauguration in 1280.

The interior contains a 13th-century baptismal font with biblical relief carvings and medieval wall murals that reflect religious art traditions.

Located in northern Gotland at coordinates 57°39′2″N 18°32′41″E, the church belongs to the Diocese of Visby and remains open for religious services.

The church walls feature runic inscriptions made by local residents to document their right of passage through parts of Fole.
