Church Notes: early church [12th-13thC?] dedicated to St Michael built in Rökland, just north of Vi, on a site said to have been a long-standing pagan sacrificial place; modified 15th and 18thC; restoredf 1930 -- When the single-nave old church became too small for the community a second church was built; it was destroyed by a fire. A new church, the present neo-Gothic building, dates from 1896. The old church is used for special occasions and in summer.

Noted in Cornell (1918). In Karlsson (1976) and (1995). Described and illustrated by Gjedssø Bertelsen and Gotfredsen in Ting och tanke (1998: 9-26) who reinterpret the earlier studies by Karlsson (1977 and 1996) on the iconography on this font; its program is "constructed on the principles of hierarchic centre-axial dualism, which echoes the very structure of Christianity [...] not a static situation that is shown but a logically progressing course of action, whose message clearly is 'Christ is the road to salvation'" (ibid., p. 26). They resolve that, both the Rune-stone at Jelling and the Alnö font present "the god in a sumptuously serpentine plant arabesque" but, whereas the Rune-stone shows Christ on the cross, the baptismal font shows "Christ the Redeemer of souls or God the Father" (ibid.). This is a wooden font carved in the general style of the one from Näs [the latter was at the Östersund museum but was later returbed to the SHM]: unlike the latter, the font at Alnö has two haloed Christ-like figures on the front (?) of the basin; much of the surface of the basin is covered in an intricate tangle of branches where St. Michael, another angel, human heads and animals (?) make their appearence. There is a central roll moulding or ring and the base has four large heads in the manner common to many Swedish fonts (the protruding heads are here accompanied by the lions' full bodies forming a sort of frieze all around the base). Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Medelpad (Bd. I, hft. 1: 93, 95, 96): the wooden font (pine) shows two metal reinforncement rings, one at the upper rim of the basin, the other just above the centre ring; there are at least two vertical lines on the basin, which appear to indicate either that the basin was not a single block, but ten pieces held together by two metal rings. The base is one block of wood. There is also a modern brass insert which now covers the basin well. It is, like the font at Näs mentioned earlier, a magnificent object. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 900920F1] as a baptismal font made of pine wood in the first half of the 13th cntury
