Bro Church

Bro Church is a limestone structure in Gotland built beginning in the early 13th century, with picture stones from the 5th century embedded in its southern section. A tower was added in the 1240s and remains part of the building's outline today.

A wooden church previously stood where this building now rises, later replaced by the stone structure that began in the early 13th century. The addition of the tower in the 1240s gave the church its main form.

Medieval wall paintings inside depict scenes from Christ's life, and a Romanesque baptismal font bears the artist Sigraf's signature work. These artworks give a sense of the spiritual environment believers encountered when entering the church.

Located in northeastern Gotland, the church welcomes visitors year-round during regular opening hours. The setting is rural, making it best explored on foot and allowing time to view the interior details.

The southern entrance features hand-carved capitals showing scenes of Christ's childhood, his Resurrection, and Hell, paired with intricate plant carvings. These sculptural details reveal the craftsmanship of medieval stoneworkers.
