AbstractThe church of Borrie lies about 10 km north of Ystad in the southern of Sweden. Though thechurch is one of the smallest in Scania it holds a very complicated history.In this essay all relevent material concerning the church of Borrie is presented. The materialdoes not only concist of literature, but also photographs. The purpose of this investigationwas to use this material to sort out and explain the history of the church of Borrie.The problem is presented in the following points:1. Is it possible to do a building archaeological analysis with photographs of the churchas the main material?2. Who built Borrie church?3. Could an investigation of the western part of Borrie church help in the search foranswers to the questions about the date and foundation of the church?By using matrices and photographs I put together an analysis and a discussion whichinvestigated problems. Difficulties arose due to the lack of time and the lack of field work.The results of this essay is not a definite date of the foundation of the church or the name ofthe person who built it. The result is the work this essay presents and how its method hasbrought the problem to the surface and laid the foundation for future investigation. It alsoshows that photographs as material for an investigation of buildings works very well ifcompleted with relevant methods and facts.
