Resmo Church

The stone church stands on the west side of Öland, featuring a narrow high nave with windows on both north and south sides.

The original wooden structure was replaced by a stone church around 1070, making it one of the oldest religious buildings on Öland island.

The church maintains its medieval altar from the 12th century, which was reinstated in 2000 to mark the building's 900th anniversary.

The former mortuary building, constructed of whitewashed limestone, now functions as a storage facility containing historical artifacts and tomb fragments.

The church structure includes an unusually narrow and tall nave design, distinguishing it from other medieval churches in Kalmar County.
