Church Notes: the church goes back to ca. 1200, but the present font is of a later date -- two sets of mural paintings discovered here in 1966-1971 renovation here; one from the 13thC, the other from the 15thC

Font Notes: Click to view

Described and illustrated in Fåhraeus (1974) as a 13th-14th century baptismal font of the Paradise type: hemispheric basin ornamented with a ribbed pattern mounted on a conical stem with an upper ring moulding and a splayed lower base. Medieval wooden font cover with a church building in its centre; it resembles the one at Endre, but here the central tower is shorter, within the logical scale of the building. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 910505F2] as a 'musselcuppstyp' baptismal font made of limestone in the second half of the 13th century; present paint not original. On-site notes: the font is covered in a reddish wash, with a few details in white and blue; there is damage to the upper rim of the basin. [NB: we do not have any information on the font of the original, ca. 1200, church here].
