Burs kyrka

The nave is the oldest part of the church, built in the first half of the 13th century, with the tower added around the mid-1200s. During the first half of the 14th century a large Gothic chancel was constructed as the first stage of what seems to have been a planned rebuilding of the whole church, and the nave was temporarily extended eastward to meet it. A sacristy on the north side of the chancel was probably added in the late medieval period.

The church's entrances have splayed, perspective-style portals, most in Romanesque style, with the chancel portal being the largest, richly decorated with figural carving in both high and low relief dating from the time the chancel was built, though it is not the main entrance. Inside, the chancel and the ringing chamber are vaulted, while the nave has a wooden triple-pitched ceiling. The east windows of the chancel retain three panes of stained glass from the period of the chancel's construction, and the south window has two panes from the 1600s.

Among the church's notable furnishings is a large oak crucifix from the early 14th century. The altar cabinet, from the first half of the 15th century, was carved in Lübeck, Germany, and its predella retains well-preserved paintings illustrating the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. A striking stone chancel bench, built into the wall south of the altar and decorated with relief-carved ends, also dates from the chancel's construction period. The font was made in Burgsvik in 1683.

The pulpit, an imposing piece made in 1756 by the Visby joiner Johan Dunderhake, is said to have taken the 1689 pulpit in Visby Cathedral as its model. Painted figures decorate the pew doors and are set into the nave ceiling, dating from 1706, adding colour to an interior that is otherwise largely furnished in 18th-century style. The church underwent a substantial restoration carried out in stages between 1960 and 1964.

The current organ, built in 1969 by John Grönvall Orgelbyggeri, is a mechanical instrument with 14 stops; it replaced an earlier 1883 organ by Åkerman & Lund of Stockholm. Nearby stand a former school building to the east, the rectory to the west, and, at the northern part of the churchyard wall, a storehouse dating from 1807.
