Östergarn Church

Östergarn Church is one of the 92 medieval churches on the island of Gotland.

About this building

The church was built in the 13th century. The plans to build the tower were never executed so it is one of the few churches on Gotland without a tower. Another interesting fact is that the plans of the nave and choir are square-shaped, which is also quite unusual on the island.
