Tronande p\u00e5 en kulle mitt i t\u00e4torten Heby ligger V\u00e4sterl\u00f6vsta kyrka, en tydlig mittpunkt i landskapet. Kyrkan uppf\u00f6rdes i slutet av 1400-talet och rymmer flera intressanta historiska detaljer, bland annat ett v\u00e4lk\u00e4nt altarsk\u00e5p fr\u00e5n omkring 1520.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men V\u00e4sterl\u00f6vsta kyrkans historia g\u00e5r l\u00e4ngre tillbaka, d\u00e5 den nuvarande kyrkan troligen ersatte en \u00e4ldre tr\u00e4kyrka. Fr\u00e5n den tidigare kyrkan finns bland annat en dopfunt fr\u00e5n 1200-talet bevarad. N\u00e4r du lyfter blicken finns det mycket att titta p\u00e5. Kyrkans valv slogs av murm\u00e4staren Anders fr\u00e5n Enk\u00f6ping och dekorerades med ansikten, figurer och geometriska ornament. Under 1500-talet smyckades kyrkan \u00e4ven med kalkm\u00e5lningar som skildrar bibliska ber\u00e4ttelser och h\u00e4ndelser ur kyrkohistorien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e5lningarna, som l\u00e4nge var \u00f6verkalkade, togs fram igen 1913 och har d\u00e4refter restaurerats vid flera tillf\u00e4llen. Motiven h\u00e4mtades bland annat ur den medeltida bildboken Biblia Pauperum<\/em>, som anv\u00e4ndes f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rmedla ber\u00e4ttelser till dem som inte kunde l\u00e4sa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altarsk\u00e5pet, som ocks\u00e5 kallas mysteriesk\u00e5pet, tillverkades i Antwerpen i b\u00f6rjan av 1500-talet och skildrar Kristi lidande, d\u00f6d och uppst\u00e5ndelse. Kyrkorummet rymmer \u00e4ven senare tillskott, som altararrangemang fr\u00e5n 1950-talet och en kormatta v\u00e4vd p\u00e5 Kasthall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I V\u00e4sterl\u00f6vsta kyrka firas gudstj\u00e4nst varje s\u00f6ndag klockan 10.00, och kyrkan \u00e4r \u00f6ppen f\u00f6r bes\u00f6k dagligen klockan 9.00\u201315.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
