Björka Church

The building material of the church is bricks, rather unusually for a medieval church in Scania. It is a rare example in Scania of a medieval church whose walls have remained basically untouched since its construction period. Inside, the pews are from the 17th century, painted in the 18th century. The rood cross is medieval, from the late 15th century. Between 1905 and 1985 it was kept in the Historical Museum at Lund University in Lund. The cross is made of oak and the sculpture of birch wood; the rood depicts the crucified Christ, flanked by the pentinent and the impenitent thief. The altarpiece is from the 17th century, and the baptismal font a locally crafted wrought iron piece from the 18th or 19th century.^[1]
