Veta church — the leper's squint

Östergötland · Sverige · Church

Veta church has parts from the 1100s. In the chancel's south wall is a 'squint' that likely let criminals and the contagious, barred from inside, still follow Mass from without. District courts passing death sentences met at Veta 1604–1681. [Documented; strong atmosphere, no ghost legend of its own.]
