context_page_description: Knislinge Church is a medieval church in Knislinge, Östra Göinge Municipality, in the province of Skåne, Sweden. The church contains several medieval murals.
context_section_description: The church contains fragments of murals from the earliest building period of the church, concealed above the vaults, as well as on the underside of the arch separating the choir from the nave. The latter are Romanesque in style and depict the Lamb of God flanked by two bishops trampling dragons.
  Most of the murals of the church however date from 1460-61 and were made soon after the vaults which they decorate. They were covered with whitewash in the 1720s but were restored in 1924. They were possibly made by Nils Håkansson. They depict religious themes, e.g. Saint George and the Dragon and Saint Nicholas, but also profane subjects.
