Salems kyrka

Salem Municipality · Stockholm County

Salems kyrka is a church building in the Romanesque style, built in the early 12th century. The church lies beside the E4, some 20 kilometres south of Stockholm. The baptismal font dates from the 12th century, and a crucifix from the 13th century is mounted in the chancel arch. The pulpit dates from 1809. It is placed above the altar, which is unusual. The old pulpit, demolished the same year, has disappeared.
