Orlunda Church, Church building with cemetery in Vadstena Municipality, Sweden

Orlunda Church is a stone structure located in Vadstena Municipality that was built in the late 19th century and displays typical features of Swedish architecture from that era. The building is marked by its thick walls, straightforward window placement, and distinctive roof design, which together with the surrounding cemetery form a connected religious site.

A medieval church with a square west tower, two-square nave, square choir and eastern apse stood here until 1890, when it was replaced by a cathedral-like building designed by Carl Möller. In 1849 C. G. Brunius recorded the old church's cross vaults, round apse and porch in his travel notes.

The medieval church that stood here was documented by C. G. Brunius in 1849, who noted traces of painted saint figures on the helmet vault of the apse. The present church, designed by Carl Möller and completed in 1890, kept the name Orlunda kyrka and the surrounding cemetery. Its 1903 mechanical organ by Åkerman & Lund of Sundbyberg has a single swell division for the whole instrument.

The church is located in a rural setting within Vadstena Municipality and can be reached via local roads in the area. Visitors should expect the building to be open primarily during services and specific times, so it helps to check access details in advance before planning a visit.
