Jumkil Church

Jumkil church was built at the beginning of the 14th century, and still retains much of the appearance it received then.

Externally, only the Brick Gothic church porch is of later date, being added in the 16th century.

[1] Internally, the church received brick vaults in the 15th century, of which those in the choir are decorated with frescos by an unknown medieval master, depicting (among other motifs) the Coat of arms of Sweden and that of Jakob Ulvsson and Sten Sture the Elder.

The oldest is the baptismal font, dating from the late 12th century and thus pre-dating the church itself.

[2] The church has an external, wooden bell tower dating from the 18th century.
