Why go
The church tower’s carved western portal, gargoyles and reliefs give plenty to examine outside. Inside, one surviving dragon combines a sculpted stone head with a painted body. North of the church, graves of concentration-camp survivors who died at Lärbro’s wartime hospital connect this rural place with the aftermath of the Second World War.
What to look for
- A separate twelfth-century defensive tower stands beside the church.
- Nicolaus Taksten’s gravestone, dated 1272, lies in the choir floor.
- The octagonal church tower is an unusual form among Gotland’s rural churches.
Useful to know
- Allow a separate, quiet pause for the hospital cemetery north of the church.
- Contact the parish to confirm interior access before travelling for the wall paintings or choir furnishings.
