Hablingbo Church

Sweden / Gotland / Visby /

Hablingbo Church is a medieval Lutheran church in Hablingbo on the Swedish island of Gotland, in the Diocese of Visby. The earliest church at the site was a stave church, built in the early 12th century at the latest. It was later replaced by a Romanesque stone church, the tower of which still survives in the present building. The nave and choir were completely rebuilt during the 14th century to their present Gothic look. Few alterations have been made since. Several of the medieval furnishings have been removed and placed in museums, however. The altarpiece is Baroque in style and dates from the 1600s, and the pews are neo-Gothic, dating from the 1890s.
