Stora Hammar Old Church

[2] Another stonemason who is mentioned in connection to the church is the so-called Mårten stenmästare (Martin Stonemaster), who worked on the construction site of Lund Cathedral.

[1] The stone church was built in the then prevailing Romanesque style, and consisted of a nave, choir and a semi-circular apse.

The church ceiling was also replaced with vaults at the end of the Middle Ages; above these remains of Romanesque murals still exist.

After its inauguration, the old church was scheduled for demolition, but its walls proved to be too sturdy and it was simply left to decay.

[3] It contains sculpted Romanesque reliefs and a baptismal font made by either the Oxie Master of Martin Stonemaster.

The altarpiece and the pulpit are both the works of Johan Ullberg, a local artist of some renown active during the 18th century.
