Heading up the path to the church |
I'm glad we did. The church was S:t Olof's Kyrka (St Olof's Church) a famous church in Skanör. The nave (main body of the church) dates from the early 13th century. Most naves from this date tend to have flat ceilings (as they are easier to make) but St Olof's is unusual in that it was made initially with a vaulted ceiling.
In the 14th century Skanör held a highly profitable market and herring trade so the church expanded - the nave was doubled in size, the bell tower was added and the facades made.

After the church we headed back to the car, via an old windmill:

While we didn't get any photos of the loch, we did take a few shots of the harbour:

Then we headed off to Ystad - see next post
