Ramsåsa Church, Medieval church in Ramsåsa, Sweden.

The church features a nave with a chancel, apse, and a tower that differs in proportion from the main structure, situated in fertile agricultural land.

Built around 1200, the church underwent major renovations between 1852 and 1853 under architect Carl Georg Brunius, with additional restorations from 1958 to 1961.

The north wall contains 14th-century murals depicting Saint Christopher and a representation of the Wheel of Fortune, rare among Nordic medieval artwork.

Located at coordinates 55.559167, 13.884444, the church maintains regular services and remains accessible to visitors interested in medieval religious architecture.

The apse displays a Romanesque mural of Christ in Majesty within a square mandorla, representing an unusual artistic interpretation for its period.
