Sankt Olofs kyrkoruin

The stone structure displays a central tower, choir, and transept layout with remaining walls reaching several meters in height.

Archaeological excavations in 2005 uncovered foundation walls of an earlier stone church beneath the current ruins, dating back to the mid-11th century.

The church holds connections to King Olav Haraldsson of Norway, with a spring near the ruins traditionally associated with healing properties.

The ruins remain open for visitors throughout the year without entrance fees, with detailed information panels explaining the site's architecture.

The foundations reveal one of the oldest stone churches in Nordic countries, built using construction techniques specific to the 11th century.
