Lye Church
Lye Church ((スウェーデン語:Lye kyrka)) is a medieval Lutheran church on the Swedish island of Gotland, in the Diocese of Visby. The church is known for having the largest set of intact medieval stained glass windows in the Nordic countries.〔
==History==
The oldest part of the church in Lye is the Romanesque nave, dating from the end of the 12th century or the early 13th. A decorated stone sarcophagus, which may originally have been intended as a grave or a reliquary is immured in the wall of the church. It dates from the 12th century and was carved by the stone sculptor known as Master Sigraf.
The tower of the church was added during the first half of the 1220s, and more than a century later in the 1330s, the Gothic choir was built, replacing an earlier, Romanesque choir. From its construction, it is apparent that the rebuilding of the choir was intended as a first step in a larger rebuilding scheme, but for one reason or another construction was halted after the choir was built.〔〔
There have been no major alterations to the church since - in fact, the walls connecting the Gothic choir and the Romanesque nave are still much thinner than those of the rest of the church, indicating that they were intended only as a temporary arrangement and the church has essentially been left unfinished since the 1330s.〔 The present roof of the tower dates from 1779. The church underwent a restoration in 1954-55.〔
