Very nice and cozy little church. Very nice to look at. Many fine paintings and wooden details. Well maintained for being as old as it is. Fun with the bell tower a bit from the church. Well maintained and nice cemetery. Definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to check the opening hours so you can take a look inside too.

Deerberga church is located in historical areas opposite an interesting burial ground where the large bell tower is also located. There are bulletin boards that tell about the countryside, so the small whitewashed church that is one of Blekinge's oldest comes a little in the dark for runstones and various archaeological finds. There is a small parking lot below the bell tower.

Beautiful place just north of the E22 highway. The building dates back to 1250. The German priest Egino did missionary work here around the year 1000 converting the Viking, heathen people into Christianity. It's located near the biggest iron age cemetery on a heather field. I recommend everyone to go there and let yourself be drawn back a 1000 year. It's well worth the visit.

Cozy little church with a long history back in time.

St. Martin Rotunda

The Chapel of St. Martin is the only completely preserved Romanesque building in Vyšehrad and one of the oldest in Prague. In was built around 1100 in the eastern part of the fortified outer ward. Between 1100 and 1300, the Rotrunda was surrounded by a cemetery. The building survived the Hussite Wars and was used as the municipal prison of the Town of the Vyšehrad Hill.

During the Thirty Years’ War, it was used as gunpowder storage, from 1700 to 1750, it was renovated and reconsecrated. In 1784, the chapel was closed passed to the military management which kept using it as a warehouseand a cannon-amunition manufacturing facility. In 1841, it was meant to be demolished to give way to the construction of a new road through Vyšehrad. Eventually, only the original western entrance was walled up and replaced with a new one in the sountren side. The dilapidating Rotunda subsequently served as a shelter for the poor.
