Bräkne-Hoby Church

The church features a three-nave basilica design built with limestone and brick, incorporating smooth plastered corners and a prominent bell tower completed in 1992.

Originally constructed between 1868 and 1872 by architect Helgo Zettervall, the church replaced a medieval structure from the 12th century made of gray stone.

The interior contains a sandstone baptismal font from the 1200s and murals by Danish artist Paul Høm, reflecting regional artistic traditions.

The building accommodates 700 people and includes modern amenities such as geothermal heating and accessible facilities for visitors with mobility requirements.

The church holds a gold chalice from 1741 and maintains its original 1872 organ built by Carl August Johansson, expanded to 20 stops in 1906.
