Drevs gamla kyrka

The stone church features a straightforward design with a 10-meter-long nave and a small choir section ending in a semicircular apse point.

Built around 1170, this religious structure represents the earliest preserved church in Kronoberg County and remained active until its closure in 1868.

The interior contains painted decorations from 1624 to 1626, wooden benches from 1652, and a carved pulpit dating back to 1702.

Located 30 kilometers northeast of Växjö, the church opens daily from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for visitors to explore its medieval architecture.

Three 13th-century religious artifacts remain inside: a triumph crucifix, a Madonna statue, and a statue of St. Olof.
