Lannaskede gamla kyrka

The church was built of stone, likely by masons who had worked on Lund Cathedral, a connection suggested by several architectural details, most notably the columned canopy over the south portal, which served as the original main entrance before a sacristy was added on the north side in the 18th century. A porch was added in the 17th century, and the exterior walls carry Renaissance-style decoration along the roofline. The church has no tower; a small bell turret once stood on the porch roof until the 1880s, and the current freestanding bell tower dates from 1937.

Inside the porch stands an unusual grave monument known as an Eskilstuna cist, a slab of slate carved with runic inscriptions, thought to predate the present church building. Just inside the south entrance a stone basin for holy water survives from the church's early construction.

The apse retains medieval wall paintings from the 13th century and a small original window, giving a sense of how modest the church's early openings were. The ceiling is decorated with painted medallions completed in 1702 by Johannes Columbus of Karlskrona, the largest depicting the Creation and smaller ones showing symbolic and biblical motifs alongside Charles XII's royal cipher, all framed by acanthus scrollwork. The north wall carries paintings of Jacob's struggle at the ford of Jabbok and the Crucifixion.

The altarpiece framing the east window, made in 1699 by Anders Ekeberg, centres on a medieval crucifix flanked by angels, with a depiction of Christ on the cross above. The mid-17th-century pulpit and its sounding board were later adorned with figures of the evangelists, also by Ekeberg, in 1699. The chancel contains a wooden font from the 1600s and two 18th-century bridal pews, while most of the pew furnishings date from the mid-18th century, incorporating some earlier woodwork from the early 1600s.

The church also houses one of Sweden's oldest pipe organs still in occasional use, a small positive organ believed to originate in the 17th century, notable for its cymbelstjärna, a decorative bell-chime mechanism found on some organs of that era.
