Brahe Church
Brahekyrkan
The Baroque family church of the Brahe family on Visingsö, with richly decorated interiors, a pulpit and family tombs.
Brahe Church was originally a medieval church. In the 17th century, Per Brahe remodelled it. The interior still features an ornate Baroque pulpit and altar, family coats of arms and trophies, and it is considered one of the most elaborately decorated rural churches in Sweden. It is about a 10-minute walk from the island’s pier and can be visited together with the Visingsborg ruins. Admission is free.
