Johansson, Johan

The Näsinge church is erected in 1864 in the traditional style of the time, white and spacious interior. The former church, from the Middle Ages, was demolished before the present one was built. Some furnishings from the previous church are preserved, including the Man of the Pains (a carved wooden sculpture from the 15th century), a medieval crucifix, a christening barrel of brass (the 16th century), a wooden chandelier (the 16th century), and remains of the old altar perceptions. The altarpiece, dating from 1875, depicts Nattvarden. An embroidered velum from 1866 forms one of the church’s textile clenodes. Interesting and worth mentioning is also an oil painting depicting the parish priest Klodt, who was a parish priest from 1666-1700. The church, located at an altitude south of the actual Näsinge community, was unusually larger than it is today. It was truncated in connection with a renovation in 1936.
