Kumlaby Church

Kumlaby Church is an early medieval stone church built in the first half of the 12th century on the site of an older wooden church.

It served as a parish church until the mid-16th century. Today, the church is considered one of the best-preserved medieval buildings in north-western Småland. Over the centuries, it has served various purposes. During the 17th and 18th centuries, it was used, amongst other things, as a classroom for Brahea School, before being restored to its present condition in 1922. Kumlaby Church thus tells the story of both early Christianity and Visingsö’s long tradition as a place of learning.
