About

Kumla Church (Swedish: Kumla kyrka) is located in Kumla kyrkby in Sala Municipality in Västmanland, Sweden.

The church, which is constructed of fieldstone, was built around 1300 and included a longhouse and a small bell tower. At the end of the 15th century, the wood roof was replaced by a brick star vault with church wall paintings signed by Albertus Pictor. In the 18th century, the windows were made larger and the current bell tower was built.

The pulpit with six-sided basket was added in 1665. The baptismal font, made of Scottish sandstone by sculptor Erik Sand, was completed in 1951.
