Bjäresjö Church

The church contains several medieval mural paintings as well as a richly decorated Romanesque baptismal font.

The apse in particular displays Romanesque sculptures unusual for a countryside church.

It has been assumed that the building of the church was financed by a local lord, indicating that this area of the province was important also politically during the early Middle Ages.

A church porch was built in front of the southern entrance in the 15th century, but demolished in 1763 and replaced by the current transept.

They depict God holding the crucified Christ within a mandorla, under which the Apostles are standing.
