Grötlingbo Church, Medieval church in Grötlingbo, Sweden.

Grötlingbo Church is a medieval place of worship on Gotland featuring gothic architecture and a western tower. The interior is divided into three sections and supported by stone columns throughout.

The first written record dates to 1296, but archaeological research shows a stone structure existed at this site in the 12th century. The building became the spiritual center for this area over many centuries.

The frieze on the south wall was carved around 1200 by the sculptor known as Sigraf and originally ran along the roof line of the 12th-century church. It shows real and mythical animals, fighting men and knights on horseback; scholars debate whether it depicts evil forces pursuing humans or a tale such as Beowulf. The baptismal font is also attributed to Sigraf.

Grötlingbo Church stands in open farmland in southern Gotland, with the cemetery beside it and a few farm buildings nearby. The churchyard is entered on foot; the surrounding fields and tree line make the tower visible from a distance. The interior is normally open to visitors in summer, and the medieval gravestones and rune stones set in the floor are best seen in daylight.

Inside sits a Renaissance pulpit originally made for Visby Cathedral that still bears the Danish coat of arms. This unusual detail hints at historical ties between Gotland and Denmark that visitors might not expect.
