Örkelljunga kyrka
Örkelljunga, SE
Örkelljunga Church was probably built in the early 14th century. At the end of the 17th century, the church was too small, so it was extended to the west with a wooden extension, which was replaced by a stone extension in 1782. Above this, a wooden tower covered with wood chips was built. At the same time, the bell tower was demolished. During the 19th century, the population increased again and the church had to be extended again. In 1804-05 the north transept was added and the brick arches of the nave were demolished. In 1846, the south transept was added. The apse of the church was demolished in 1817, but rebuilt in 1955 as a sacristy.
