Story
Voxtorp Church is a medieval round church in Kalmar County in Sweden. It belongs to the Diocese of Växjö.History and architectureThe church, which originally may have been one storey higher, was built some time between the end of the 12th century and the middle of the 13th. It is a so-called fortified church and was built to serve multiple uses. Several such churches, that could be used for many purposes as places of worship, defense and also storage were during this time built along the east coast of Småland and on Öland island. It is one of only eight medieval round churches in Sweden to survive to this day. It is located not far from Hagby Church, another round church with a similar history which probably pre-dates Voxtorp Church and may have served as a source of inspiration.The church building was altered during the 14th century, when the current choir and probably also sacristy were built. In 1958 the church suffered damage following being hit by lightning, and was subsequently renovated by architect Erik Lundgren.
