ROUND CHURCH

Østerlars Round Church, Bornholm

A 'round church' is a special type of church construction, having a completely circular plan. Round churches are often found in Denmark or Sweden and were popular church constructions in Scandinavia in the 17th and early 18th centuries.
An example of a Swedish round church is Hedvig Eleonora Church in Stockholm.
Round churches should not be confused with the older types of round-tower church constructions.
