About the church
Fröjels kyrka is a church on Gotland belonging to Fröjel parish in the Diocese of Visby. It is one of the churches on Gotland that lie closest to the sea. It stands raised on the edge of a beach ridge with a wide view towards the Karlsö Islands in the west.
South-east of the church there are the remains of a prehistoric hillfort. North of the church stands the ruin of a medieval building, probably a kastal (fortified tower). The churchyard has two lychgates, of which the western one is medieval, from the later part of the 13th century, as is a section of the adjoining wall. Between the eastern lychgate and the church, inside the churchyard, lies a labyrinth, a so-called trojeborg (Troy Town), of unknown age.
