Skanör Church

The presently visible church however dates in its oldest parts, from the first half of the 13th century.

[3][4] Rich herring deposits on the north side of the Falsterbo peninsula made Skanör an important trading center in the 12th to 16th century.

The nave was doubled in size, the present bell tower added, and the western façade adorned, typically for Scanian medieval churches, with crow-stepped gables.

Less than a hundred years later, the large choir which today dominates the church with its high Gothic windows, was added.

The triumphal cross is medieval, as is one of the church bells, made by a master bell-maker Gherhard Crammar in Lübeck.
