The medieval pilgrimage church of Sankt Olof sits in a quiet inland village halfway between Simrishamn and the south coast. It was once one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in southern Scandinavia, attracting visitors who came to draw water from the holy springs nearby.
The interior is unexpectedly rich for such a rural setting: a carved triptych altar from around 1500 and an elaborate Baroque pulpit fill the small nave. A short walk south of the church leads to the Sankt Olof Holy Springs, two small wells associated with healing legends and the travels of Saint Olaf himself.
