Hörsne Church
Hörsne Church () is a medieval church in Hörsne-Bara on the Swedish island of Gotland. Dating from the 13th to the 14th century, the church has unusually richly decorated portals. It belongs to the Diocese of Visby of the Church of Sweden. History A first stone church was built in Romanesque style here during the 12th century.
