Resmo Church, Church in Mörbylånga Municipality, Sweden

Resmo Church is a whitewashed stone building with a tall square west tower topped by a green, multi-sided lantern and a cross finial. Its long nave has a red tiled roof and narrow, round-arched windows. A low stone wall encloses the grassy churchyard with scattered gravestones. The church stands on the western land ridge next to Stora alvaret.

A wooden church that once stood here was replaced with a stone building around 1070, making it one of the oldest religious structures on the island. This shift to stone construction reflected broader changes in church building across the region during that period.

The name Resmo first appears around 1300 as Rysme, possibly from the Öland dialect word risma, meaning a long rag or scraped piece of cloth; the ending -mo is recorded only from 1644. The parish church has been shared by the Resmo-Vickleby congregation since 1 January 2006.

The church stands on the western landborgen ridge beside Stora alvaret, 15 km south of Färjestaden, with entrances on the west side and in the middle of the south facade. The ground around it is grass with scattered gravestones enclosed by a low stone wall, so paths can be uneven. The interior is high and narrow under a flat wooden barrel vault.

The building stands out for its unusually narrow and tall nave, a design that differs noticeably from other medieval churches in the region. These particular proportions were not typical of church construction in this part of Sweden during the Middle Ages.
