Turns off from E4 at Eket. There is the sign "Rya Kyrkoruin". Further onto a narrow dirt road. At the churchyard there is a large parking. There are several cars there. Beautiful song flows out of the ruin. It is practiced before a wedding. Asking if it's OK to walk around and photograph. Yes, please stay over the wedding as well.

The church was built around 1200, abandoned in 1875. It is beautiful as a ruin. Meter thick walls of cobblestones. Wall remnants, two to eight meters high. In the choir there is a single altar with a cross. Benches are installed in the longhouse. In the porch is a basket of flowers to disperse the wedding couple with. Modern bell tower of wood in the west.

A stone wall surrounds the cemetery. Beyond it's a farm and a golf course. In the cemetery there are some gravestones and cross in cast iron. Fine-dressed wedding guests arrive. Drive from there. Meet the priest on his way to the wedding. Coffee and cake at Nya Conditoriet in Örkelljunga,
