During april it have been 550 years sins the Bishop of Linköping with the Swedish rebel forces managed to beat the Danish King and the Union forces at the Battle at Haraker, just outside of Västerås in Sweden. More about the battle in 1464 later on but I need a church as that was a significant part of the battlefield.
Unfortunate the today church in Haraker look nothing like the medieval one as it have gone through several addons. But with the information I got from several sources like historical accounts and excavation reports for example I will tyr to build me a Medieval Haraker church...
The Haraker Church today in a 1795 design...
The First church in Haraker was probably a wooden one built in the 12th century, the first Stone church was built during the 14th century and during my gaming period the i.e. 1450-1480 the church did go throught a major rebuild, they got a brick ceiling, new brick porch and a brick/wood bell tower.
Inspirational picture so you ge an Idéa of about how it could have looked like, of course this church also have gone through some alternation like the windows are from the 17th centery. The Haraker chruch also had a internal tower to the left.
More building pictures in a day or so...
