Gammelgarn Church

The stone church features a single central column supporting four vaults in the nave, with three Gothic windows adorning the eastern end.

The church structure dates from the 14th century, incorporating an earlier defensive tower from the 12th century built to protect against Baltic raiders.

The southern portal displays intricate sculptures by the Egypticus workshop, depicting various scenes from the Old Testament through medieval stone carvings.

The church maintains regular visiting hours for tourists and includes parking facilities, with guided tours available through the Diocese of Visby.

A medieval gravestone with runic inscriptions remains embedded in the choir floor, connecting modern visitors to the ancient Nordic traditions.
