Norrlanda Church, building on Gotland, Sweden

Norrlanda Church is a stone building in Gotland with sturdy walls and a tall narrow steeple. The interior features simple wooden benches, an altar, and possibly old paintings, while an adjacent cemetery contains aged headstones marking generations of burials.

A first stone church was built here in the 12th century, and its Romanesque tower, added in the early 13th century, is the only part still standing. The nave and choir were rebuilt in Gothic style around 1300 and the mid-14th century, leaving the tower looking small. Renovations took place in 1889 and 1953–54 under architect Olle Karth.

The murals inside were painted in the mid-15th century by an artist known as the Master of the Passion of Christ, and they show scenes from the Passion along with saints, devils and women. The north lychgate has a pointed arch split by a wall with a larger and a smaller opening. Southeast of the church a medieval vaulted farm gate, torn down in 1899, was re-erected in 1971.

The church stands on a gravel plateau east of the former church marsh, now drained and farmed. Two medieval lychgates survive in the low churchyard wall; the northern one has its pointed arch split by an arcade wall into a larger and a smaller passage. Southeast of the church, a medieval vaulted farm gate demolished in 1899 was re-erected in 1971.

The church bell, cast around 1250, is said to be the largest surviving 13th-century church bell in Sweden. The medieval Norrlanda organ, built between 1370 and 1430, is no longer in the church but kept at the Historical Museum in Stockholm.
