Österplana

Österplana old medieval church was torn down in 1878, and these stones are nailed to the wall in the new one.
It's a pity that so many of those small medieval churches had to be demolished to be replaced by new "soul-less" ones. In some places they let the old church still stand, and 100 years later it was restored to former glory, and preferred to, rather than the newer one. One example of that is Eriksberg old church.
