Church with pagan paintings and medieval sculptures depicting the lives of St. Catherine and St. Nicholas.

3 km from Angla, this church, built in the 14th century, is the smallest medieval church on the island. It is worth visiting for its pagan paintings (intended to frighten away demons) and medieval sculptures depicting the lives of St. Catherine and St. Nicholas. It offered a place to sleep, no doubt used by pilgrims traveling throughout Scandinavia and the island of Gotland. For the record, this is the rural church with the most medieval stone carvings of any in the Baltic States.

beaucoup de bruit pour rien
perdu au milieu de nulle part, aucun touriste en vue ce 13 août, mais une dame mobilisée pour percevoir le prix d'entrée de 1 €. C'est de dimensions modestes et on peut entrevoir quelques fresques bien estompées. Un voilier, ex-voto marin déposé par un navigateur de l'île et un tronc médiéval de la fin du XVe , constituent les seuls intérêts du sanctuaire
