Stånga Church

The stone church features grey limestone walls with sandstone details and contains a single central pillar supporting four vaulted sections of the interior.

The current structure replaced a wooden church in the first half of the 13th century, with substantial modifications made to the nave during the 14th century.

The church portal displays limestone sculptures depicting scenes from Mary's life and Christ's childhood, representing medieval religious artistry in Gotland.

The church serves as an active religious center within the Diocese of Visby and maintains regular services for the local congregation.

Large Gothic sculptures found near the south portal were intended for an unbuilt tower, making them rare examples of Swedish Gothic art.
