Alskog Church
Alskog Church is one of the 92 medieval churches on the island of Gotland.
About this building
The oldest part of the church is the Romanesque nave from the early 13th century. The bell tower dates from the second half of the 13th century. The last part to be erected was the chancel, built in the 14th century.
It houses a rood cross from the late 12th century and a baptismal font from the same period. It also contains other medieval furnishings like a 14th-century retable, some sculptures and the oldest pulpit in Gotland, from the 16th century. Several stained glass windows from the 13th century, when the chancel was built, have also survived to the present day.
In the 19th century new windows were opened and new pews were installed, but the appearance of the church has remained virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages.
The church underwent a restoration in the 1960s
