Östra Hoby Church

Located 4 km east of Borrby in Skåne County in southern Sweden, it belongs to the Diocese of Lund.

[1] Built of travertine, the apse and chancel are the earliest parts of the church, dating from the early 12th century.

[1][2] The font, sculpted with a figure of Christ enthroned, is the work of the 12th-century craftsman Majestatis, also known as the Tryde Master.

Around 1460, the arches were decorated with vines by the Fjälkinge Workshop which probably also altered a mural of the Majestas in the apse to one of the Mercy Seat.

Among the murals on the vaulting at the point where the transept crosses the nave, there are fragments of the story of Adam and Eve.
