Väversunda Church, Medieval church in Vadstena Municipality, Sweden

Väversunda Church is a medieval stone structure near Lake Vättern featuring Romanesque architectural elements and built from limestone. The religious complex includes a cemetery on its grounds.

A wooden stave church preceded the present stone building, which was erected in the 1160s from Omberg limestone. Its Romanesque roof trusses were dendrodated to that decade. In the late 14th century the interior was vaulted, probably by masons from the Vadstena Abbey church works. A south porch was added in 1641, and the church was extended west in 1771 with a wooden bell tower by Bengt Björkman.

The church belongs to the Dals parish of the Diocese of Linköping. Its wooden door, signed by the master Asmund, shows the Crucifixion and the Fall of Man with runic inscriptions, and is kept in the porch.

The church stands at the foot of Omberg, about 15 km north of Ödeshög and 15.5 km southwest of Vadstena, on the western side of Lake Tåkern. The lake shore has receded eastward since water levels were lowered in the 19th century, so the building no longer sits directly on the water. The south porch, built in 1641, is the entrance; the medieval door signed by Asmund is kept inside it.

The church's wooden door in the porch is signed by the master Asmund and shows the Crucifixion and the Fall, with runic inscriptions. Fragments of early Christian grave monuments and rune-carved grave covers from the earlier wooden church are kept in the tower room.
