Eriksbergs gamla kyrka, Medieval stone church in Herrljunga Municipality, Sweden.
Located 15 kilometers east of Herrljunga, this Romanesque church features a long nave, stone walls, and a distinctive barrel vault in the choir section.
Built in 1130, the church gained importance through its connection to King Erik the Holy and his son Knut Eriksson, who completed the construction in memory of his father.
The church walls contain fragments of medieval paintings from 1170-1200, representing religious art techniques and theological concepts of the medieval period.
The church returned to regular parish service in 1978 and currently operates under Svenska Kyrkan as both a place of worship and cemetery grounds.
The church contains a Jacob's Ladder, a rare architectural element that leads through the wall, symbolizing the biblical connection between earth and heaven.
