Jäts gamla kyrka

The stone church building features thick walls measuring one meter, a narrow chancel, and a triumphal arch separating the nave from the choir section.

Built in 1226, the church structure includes the original Romanesque floor plan, while the red-painted timber sacristy was added in 1733.

The interior contains decorative paintings from 1749 by Johan Christian Zschotzscher, depicting the Last Judgment on the nave ceiling.

The church remains accessible throughout summer months from 9 AM to 8 PM, with visits during other periods requiring arrangements through the parish office.

The bell tower, positioned at the southwestern corner of the churchyard, underwent restoration after lightning damage in 1924 destroyed its dome and spire.
