Hagby Church, Round medieval church in Kalmar Municipality, Sweden
The medieval stone church features a circular design with thick defensive walls containing openings for weapons and military purposes.
The construction of Hagby Church commenced in the late 12th century, replacing the wooden St. Sigfrid chapel located two kilometers south.
This religious structure represents medieval ecclesiastical architecture as one of only eight round churches remaining in Sweden.
Hagby Church functions as an active parish church within the Diocese of Växjö, hosting regular services and community gatherings.
The upper sections of the church walls include specific apertures designed for spears and arrows, combining religious and defensive functions.
