context_page_description: Hästveda Church is a medieval church in Hästveda, in the province of Skåne, Sweden.
context_section_description: The church is richly decorated with murals from two different time periods. In the apse there are Romanesque murals from the second half of the 13th century, depicting Christ in Majesty surrounded by the symbols of the Four Evangelists. Underneath, the Apostles are depicted in a row. The other set of paintings decorate the vaults in the nave of the church. They are Gothic in style and depict religious scenes from the Bible. They were made some time before 1487, since the coat of arms of two Danish noble families (the province of Skåne was at the time Danish) from Jutland who are known to have owned estates in the area previous to that date decorate the walls. Very probably it was these two families who commissioned the painting of the murals.
