The apse in the church. The paintings in the apse are 17th century, while the surrounding murals are dated to around 1200. In the middle ages, this whole place was covered with those older murals, but they were painted over (remains of the older work has been found underneath). The altar itself is built into the wall and is an original from the building of the church. 

A small, Romanesque church in Myresjö, Småland, Sweden - built in the middle of the 12th century. The church was for a long time parish-church, but deemed unfit for this in 1814 by the bishop. In 1879 the new church was inaugurated (a church the parish shared with neighbouring Lannaskede) and this one was abandoned for some 50 years before it was saved because people finally realized that this was something quite special (today it is considered a church of national interest). During the time it was abandoned it lost most of its roof, but not over the choir and apse, which is why the murals in this part of the church has survived. Some of the original furnishings of the church have also survived.
