Västra Ingelstad Church

It is the burial place of Danish-Norwegian statesman Henrich Krummedige and contains a richly decorated altarpiece from Antwerp, unparalleled in the province of Skåne.

The church porch in front of the southern entrance was built during the 14th century, and the interior vaults date from 1450-1475.

At the same time a burial chamber was installed for the Krummedige family, owner of nearby Månstorp Gables.

The western entrance was made considerably later, in 1832, and the church tower added as late as 1855 and renovated already in 1894.

The central part consists of deep sections with an abundance of sculpted scenes, depicting the suffering of Christ.
