Hagby Church, Småland

It was preceded by a wooden chapel dedicated to Saint Sigfrid of Sweden a few kilometres south of the present church; by 1541 it was abandoned.

The present church was dedicated to Saint Olaf during the Catholic era .

The present layout of the church largely dates from a renovation carried out in 1968.

The church contains a wooden crucifix from the 16th century and a baptismal font of Gotlandic limestone.

A silver chalice and paten dating from the 16th century were found under the church floor during a renovation in 1889, and are today part of the collections of the Swedish History Museum.
