Endre Church, Medieval church in Endre, Sweden

Description

Endre Church is a stone church in Gotland with exterior walls featuring sculpted portals showing both Romanesque and Gothic architectural characteristics. The building demonstrates how construction evolved over several centuries, blending different styles in its design.

History

The church tower was built in the 12th century and extended in the 14th century, remaining as the sole survivor of the original Romanesque structure. Later architectural additions transformed the building into the blend of styles seen today.

Culture

The interior walls display medieval murals created by a local master painter in the mid-15th century, showing religious scenes that remain central to the church's appearance today. These frescoes reflect the artistic traditions of that period and continue to draw attention from those who visit.

Practical

The church remains open throughout the year and welcomes visitors at various times. It is helpful to check ahead for any special times when services or events might affect visitor access.

Did you know?

The building preserves rare medieval stained glass window panes in their original positions, making it a notable example of such preservation. Few churches in Sweden retain historical glass windows in this manner.
