Örberga church

The Örberga church 7 km west from Vadstena is considered as one of the oldest churches in Sweden, dating from the early XII century. The ceiling is adorned with fresco dating from the middle ages. The round towers on the side of the square tower are the stairs to get on top of the bell tower. The frescoes are dating in the early XIV century and were painted by an anonymous artist called the "Rising Master" who has painted a couple of churches in the area.
