Kläckeberga Church, Medieval fortified church in Kalmar Municipality, Sweden

The church structure spans three levels, including a cellar, main church hall, and an upper floor, with historical defensive features integrated into its design.

Built in the early 13th century, Kläckeberga Church endured significant damage when Danish forces set it ablaze during their 1611 military campaign.

The church displays an altarpiece painted by Herman Han in 1616, acquired from Poland during the Thirty Years War, representing significant artistic exchange.

Kläckeberga Church maintains its original defensive elements, including multiple earthwork walls and moats that visitors can observe around the perimeter.

Military records from the 15th century document the stationing of various garrisons within the church during battles for control of Kalmar Castle.
