Kråksmåla Kyrka

A beautiful place. A typical but pretty historic church. In the summer make sure you get a coffee and a self baked! cake for you Fika Pause as log as the Vägkyrkan is opened.

We drove into the historic village of Kråkmåla and noticed the ” Church Open” sign, so elected to stop our journey and call in.nLots of ample parking for our trusty Volvo! We enetered the churchyard vis the Eastern Gate arch to see a most beautifully kept area of well tended grass and a delightful collection of brightly coloured flowers on the well tended gravestones.nWe were met st the door by two warm and very helpful people namely Britt and Stefan. Britt explained to me in good English, some very interesting facts on the Saintly wood carved figures inside, one of which was of Sant Birgitta and her journey to Rome.nWe were then invited to have a delicious ” fika”, very traditionally Swedish coffee and delicious home made patisseries.nSWISH or cash was accepted for a contribution, but certainly NOT obligatory.nUpon leaving, We could not help reflect why tourists in general do not avail themselves more of these facilities in fine historic Swedish Churches.nBy the way, excellent and clean toilets were also available.nThank you Britt and Stefan !!

Justa nice old church I'm passing by.

Beautiful red church

Really fascinating and beautiful wooden church.nnWe happened to pass the church on our way to Kalmar, and if you are in the neighborhood you owe it to yourself to pay a quick visit to the church.
