The interior is spacious and bright with high vaults and beautiful plaster paintings that partly originate from the Middle Ages. The church also has a number of interesting fixtures, including a baptismal font from the 13th century and an altarpiece from the 18th century. There is also a triumphal crucifix from the 14th century, which is one of the church's most impressive works of art. Limestone bell tower is typical of Gotland

Visited the family grave where my mother, my mother's brother and their parents are buried. Rest in peace❤❤❤ A very beautiful cemetery and well-maintained and newly renovated church where my parents got married and I myself was baptized. Big plus for a really new and fresh disabled toilet that was open even when we passed there 20:00-21:00

An absolutely fantastic medieval church. I always try to take the opportunity to visit churches. This one was something out of the ordinary. It is powerful to enter a building that you know has such a long history. How many people have sat in those pews? Hard to describe. The pictures speak for themselves.

I visited the the church twice, in 1981 and in 1989. I knew that my uncle Józef (Joseph) Białek is buried in the cemetery. During the WW II he was young man living in Warsaw, Poland. In 1943 he was taken by german police from street hunt directly to Auschwitz concentration camp. He was kept there until the end of the war, and in 1945 was evacuated by Red Cross to refugee camp and hospital in Larbro. He was exhausted by conditions in concentration camp and died in the autumn of 1945. As we lived behind the Iron Curtain I did the first visit to Larbro in 1981. On the cemetery I found the section with war refugees graves. Among them was the wooden cross with the name of my uncle, whom I never met. In 1989 I visited the cemetery with my mother. She was the sister of buried here victim - she saw his brother last time in 1943 when they still were teenagers. I want to express my gratitude to Larbro community and church for respecting the memory of victims of World War II.
