Inspired Sunday - Vallkärra Church

Vallkärra Church
Diocese of Lund - Skåne, Sweden


Some old tombstones and memorial crosses of cultural-historical interest







Vallkärra Church (near Lund, Skåne, Sweden) dates back to the 12th century; but the only part that remains from those days is the rounded choir. The pulpit is from the 16th century. The whole church went through a major reconstruction in the 1840s, and its size was then tripled. In 1906-07 some further changes were made, and the pews, baptismal font and altar table are from that time. The organ is from 1963. Some older items and paintings from the church have been moved to museums.

In spite of its current look being the result from several centuries and styles, it does not look like patchwork; there is a harmonious look to it.

The font is a very substantial and very traditional piece of church equipment.
