Stenkyrka Church, Medieval church in Stenkyrka, Sweden
Stenkyrka Church features a prominent 14th-century tower and three portals, two in Romanesque style and one in Gothic design with detailed stonework.
The church construction began in the mid-13th century, with the choir completed first, followed by the nave consecrated by the bishop of Linköping in 1255.
The interior walls display medieval murals from three periods, showcasing ornamental designs, biblical scenes, and illustrations of fantastical creatures from different centuries.
The church maintains regular services and belongs to Stenkyrka parish in Norra Gotlands pastorat, along with churches in Martebo, Tingstäde, and Lummelunda.
The church grounds contain the oldest dated gravestone found on Gotland, which traces back to the year 1200.
