Angarn Church

[1][2] Although Angarn Church probably dates from the 1280s, it lies in a cultural landscape with a much older history.

Petroglyphs from the Bronze Age, as well as several significantly later runestones testify to the old traditions of the place.

The church was built on a hill next to an inlet of the Baltic Sea (which has subsequently disappeared as a consequence of post-glacial rebound) and thus was strategically located, easy to reach by boat.

Of the runestones on the church grounds, one (U 203 in Rundata) was possibly made by the only known female runemaster, Frögärd i Ösby.

Much of the rest of the interior of the church is also characterised by the architectural ideals of the late 18th century.
