Sweden Ravlunda Church

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Ravlunda church was built around 1200. It is typical Scanian in its design with the east apse, cows, nave and tower. Brick arches and vaults were filled with mural paintings in the 1400s, maybe by the Vittskövle Master. The church porch and tower were probably built also in the 1400s. The expansion to the north is considered to come from the 1600s. The altar dates from 1592 and the pulpit from 1609.
The writer Fritiof Nillson Piraten is buried here.
