Rö Church

It was replaced with the presently visible stone church during the second half of the 13th century, dedicated to Saint Olaf.

The church was damaged by fire during the 16th or 17th century and in connection with the restoration, two rough buttresses were added externally.

The church suffered a period of neglect during the 17th and early 18th centuries but was renovated in 1747, when the choir was rebuilt.

The frescos date from the late 15th century and are made by an unknown artist in a style not represented in any other church nearby.

Of later date is the unusual collection of church silver, including a unique set of bridal jewellery from the 18th century.
