Sankta Maria kyrka (St. Mary’s Church) is a medieval church in Ystad, originally constructed in the 13th century. Built of grey stone, it’s dedicated to Saint Mary and represents a significant example of Gothic architecture in the region. The church underwent substantial renovations in the 19th century led by architect Carl Johan Bergsten, resulting in its current neo-Gothic appearance. Notable features include its vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and historical organ. The church serves as an active parish church within the Church of Sweden and also frequently hosts cultural events due to its acoustics and historical importance within Ystad's landscape.
