Lye Church Labyrinth Graffito

A 12-wall labyrinth graffito inside Lye Church, a medieval limestone church on Gotland dating to the 13th century. Church labyrinths in Scandinavia typically appear as wall carvings or painted designs, serving as meditation aids or protective symbols. Lye Church sits 300m south of the road between Hemse and Ljugarn, in the heart of Gotland's agricultural interior. The graffito likely dates to the medieval period when labyrinth symbolism merged Christian pilgrimage theology with older Nordic ritual traditions. Giza bearing 345.83°.
