Castless church
Kastlösa church is located on the eastern land castle next to the western country road in the northern part of Kastlösa village.
Immediately west of the cemetery is the Kastlösa Diocese. When the new church was built in the 1850s, a new parsonage was built and the old one was moved to the other side of the road and became Kastlösa's first school.
The Church
Around 1850, Kastlösa's small gabled church from the 1100th century became too small. It had consisted of a nave, choir and east tower and a west tower from the 1200th century. Kastlösa's new church was built according to drawings by Adolf Johan Hawerman in 1855. The builder was Peter Isberg from Glöminge. In the minutes of the parish meeting, it is said that the church was built "comparatively cheaply, thanks to the fact that most of the work and driving was carried out by the parishioners themselves". It was built north of the old church. The new church consists of a rectangular church room, divided into three naves, with choirs in the east, sacristy in the north and tower in the west. The whitewashed walls are covered by gable roofs, the tower is crowned by a lantern with a short spire. Close to a hundred years after the church's dedication, major interior renovations were carried out for the anniversary. The church room was remodeled in a uniform way and the church room was covered, among other things, by a flat ceiling. The pew furniture, the gallery and the pulpit are from the same occasion.
Memory grove
The memorial grove was inaugurated in 2000 and is laid out on the north side of the church. It is bounded by a circular hedge of tuja with an opening to the west. Originally it had an opening on each side to the north and south, but it was replanted to make a more enclosed room. In the eastern part of the grove there is a planting and an older limestone cross. In front of the planting is also a stand for flower vases. To the left is a bench where you can sit down.
Buildings
In the north-east corner as part of the cemetery wall is an older material shed, built around 1805, with whitewashed facades and a tiled roof. The house has for a period been used as a mortuary, but now it is only a storage room.
Other
Outside the material house's west wall, a place has been arranged for older burial mounds and nurseries. The oldest slabs are from the 1600th century.
The wrought iron gates from 1856 must be by the Öland blacksmith Jonas Peter Dahlgren, who during the 1800th century was responsible for many beautiful cemetery gates on Öland. A descendant - Lars Peter Dalgren - blacksmith from Bredinge malm sleeps peacefully in the cemetery.
In block A south of the church there is a well of walled limestone slabs.
