Sjösås nya kyrka, Ecclesiastical complex in Viås, Sweden

The church features a tall, pointed tower and follows neoclassical architectural principles with gray stone walls covered in white plaster.

Constructed between 1860 and 1865 following architect Carl-Gustaf Blom-Carlsson's designs, the church replaced an earlier medieval structure deemed too small.

The church served as a central gathering point that transformed Viås into the main hub of Sjösås parish during the late 1800s.

A digital virtual tour allows visitors to explore the church's interior and architecture as it appeared before the destructive fire of September 2022.

The church's remaining artifacts include a 13th-century sandstone baptismal font and a late 15th-century triumphal crucifix that survived the fire.

Location: Växjö Municipality

Architects: Carl-Gustaf Blom-Carlsson
