Silvåkra Church

The ceiling of the chancel was installed in 1839, and in 1868 the church was equipped with new, larger windows.

[1][2] Medieval paintings were discovered under layers of whitewash in 1951 and subsequently restored.

On the chancel arch there are Romanesque paintings from the construction period of the church, of high artisanal quality.

Of later date is the set of murals which decorate the four vaults of the nave; they were probably made in the first quarter of the 16th century and are in a Late Gothic style.

[1][2] Among the church furnishings, the baptismal font is the oldest, dating from the 12th century.
