Stora Rytterne Church Ruin

Stora Rytterne

Stora Rytterne Church was probably built in the second half of the 12th century. It was later considerably extended to the east. The rib-vaults and the vestry were constructed at the end of the Middle Ages. In 1738 the three-sided chancel was added.
In 1815 the parishes of Lilla and Stora Rytterne shared in the building of a new chruch. The last service was held here on May 31, 1818.
The ruin was excavated in 1937-38- The finds include a stone with a crucifer and a runic stone.
