A group of large Gothic sculptures, currently immured next to the south portal of the church, was possibly intended for a new tower that was never built.

In the 19th century, when the chancel and the apse of the church had to be replaced due to structural damage, the congregation chose to rebuild them as similar as possible to the medieval building.

[2] Archaeological excavations show that a wooden church was built on the site toward the beginning of the 12th century, possibly even earlier.

[6] Several details indicate that ad hoc-solutions, not originally intended, were implemented to finish the work.

[7] Most obvious of these is the set of monumental Gothic limestone sculptures immured next to the nave portal in the south wall.

[7] It has consequently been suggested that the plans for the rebuilding of the church were originally much more ambitious and that the idea was to replace not only the Romanesque nave but also the chancel and possibly the tower.

The monumental sculptures which now are immured next to the main portal may have been intended for some other part of the projected church.

The congregation chose to rebuild them as closely as possible to their original form, while the old sacristy, north of the chancel, was built to new designs.

Another large renovation was undertaken 1962–63, this time led by the architect Olle Karth [sv], in order to repair and renew the church.

[12] The tower likewise has a single Gothic window facing south, dating from the re-building during the 14th century.

Medieval stained glass almost certainly decorated all the windows of the church originally, but no traces of it survive today.

[13] The second storey has a larger, round-arched opening to the west, which was probably used together with a mechanical winch to bring items into the room behind it.

[20] The rectangular sides of the outer posts of the portal, facing south, are decorated with sculptures of four standing figures, probably saints.

[21] The decoration of the portal and the adjacent sculptures date from the same time, around 1345–1360, and were probably made by the same workshop, but by different individual sculptors.

[10] The Swedish National Heritage Board describes them as "one of the most unusual works of art from the Middle Ages in [Sweden]".

[24] These sculptures appear to be an incomplete set meant to display the history of the childhood and Passion of Christ.

[27] The nave is divided into four bays, its vaults supported by a single pillar that is placed in the middle of the church.

Dating to around 1250, it is relatively complete and well-preserved with respect to other rood crosses, and it is still supported by its original pedestal, which is unusual.

[31] A 15th-century wooden crucifix has been incorporated into the Baroque altarpiece which was made in the late 17th century in Burgsvik on Gotland.

[36] Stånga Church is an ecclesiastical monument, number 21300000002847 (sub-number: 21400000444078) in the buildings database of the Swedish National Heritage Board.
