A labyrinth graffito carved into the wall of Ganthem Church on Gotland, potentially by the same artist who carved labyrinths at nearby Hablingbo and Lye churches. Ganthem's medieval limestone church typifies Gotland's extraordinary concentration of over 90 medieval churches — the densest per capita in Northern Europe. The graffiti labyrinths in Gotlandic churches suggest a folk tradition of inscribing protective or devotional symbols independent of official church design.
