Why go
The medieval Resurrection image above the altar gives the small interior a clear focal point. Elsewhere, a twelfth-century baptismal font survives from the wooden church that preceded the present stone building. These objects make the changes of building tangible, while the mid-fifteenth-century paintings add scenes from the legend of Saint Olaf.
What to look for
- Thick walls at the west end were prepared for a tower that never rose.
- The wooden spire dates from the 1917 restoration.
- The seventeenth-century altarpiece incorporates parts of earlier medieval altarpieces.
Useful to know
- Enquire with Stenkumla parish about opening before planning to see Träkumla’s glass and wall paintings.
- Examine the heavy west end outside, then look towards the much smaller spire above it.
