Description

Voxtorp Parish Church. The current church was consecrated in 1845, replacing an older church from the Middle Ages.

The church is built in an east-west orientation and consists of a rectangular nave with a round sanctuary apse in the east and a tower in the west. The vestry has been extended in the northern part.

The church is built in a neoclassical style. The roof is covered with sheet copper. The façades are stylistically simple and made from white plastered stone.

The interior is well preserved, representative and largely original. The pews, retable, pulpit and organ all retain their original appearance and contemporary colours.

There are also artefacts that remain from the previous church. A triumphal crucifix from the Middle Ages in the arch towards the sanctuary, an altarpiece in baroque style and a medieval christening font.

There is also the so-called Trolltavlan painting from the 17th century on the gallery substructure and several coats of arms. These tell of the history of the previous church and parish.
