Ölmstad kyrka

In the 12th century, the monks from Alvastra began building the first stone church. There was probably a Viking-age magnate's farm on this site.

The baptismal font in the church originates from this time.

In the choir there are paintings in two layers. The oldest are from the 15th century when the choir and vaults were built. The latter are from the 17th century when the church was restored by vicar Hyltenius after the ravages of the Danes.

On the south wall hangs a colorful and detailed tapestry from the year 1800. It was originally a so-called antependium (altar decoration).

The pulpit is from 1649 and has been moved from the south wall to the north wall.

The large crucifix is ​​from the 15th century and has hung in various places in the church.

In the 18th century, the tower was built with the characteristic tower staircase.

In 2000, the church was renovated both inside and out.

The altar was moved forward, the new old altar ring was inserted and the pews were repainted, etc.
