Skällvik, Östergötland

[Karen Kelsey]

I read that Skällvik was a parish in the municipality of Söderköping.  When I go into the SweGGate site, under Sources, and then Pictures, I find one photo of Skällvik.  It looks like there are ruins next to a house, and it sits along a river.  Is that a photo of the ruins of the parish church?
   One of my ancestors, Angla Maria Johanna Petronella Magnisdotter, was born 19-June 1825 in Skällvik.  I try to include a photo of each parish into my historical narratives, and I will use that picture if those are the remains of the Skällvik parish.

Hi Karen,
 
The ruins in the picture is not of a church but of an old military fortress.
Take a look at these pictures of S:t Anna kyrka (church) in Skallvik. Maybe you can use one of the two pictures for your historical narratives.

The newest church that opened its doors in 1821

Hope this helps!
Have a nice day!
