Näs Church

Näs church was built in the middle of the 13th century, and remains today largely unchanged. The interior was changed during a renovation made in 1910, and according to tradition the tower was originally higher. However, few of the original furnishings have survived.

The altarpiece dates from 1692, and made in Burgsvik, while the pulpit is from the middle of the 18th century. The triumphal cross is a copy of a medieval crucifix, but a few fragments of an original triumphal cross survive in the Gotland Museum in Visby. In the sacristy, fragments of a medieval tombstone are also stored; the fragmentary picture on the tombstone may possible depict a bishop.
