Sundborn Church

Sundborn Church is a wooden church building in Falun Municipality featuring traditional Nordic architectural elements with timber walls and a pointed roof. The rectangular nave is dominated by a characteristic steeple and forms a cohesive architectural complex together with the adjacent cemetery.

The church was built in 1755 and established a permanent religious presence in the Falun Municipality region. The wooden structure endured through the centuries and later became a cultural landmark through the artistic activities of Carl Larsson.

The interior walls display paintings by Carl Larsson, a Swedish artist who captured local life during the late 1800s. His works draw visitors who want to understand the artistic vision of that era.

The building is accessible via Kyrkvägen road and can be visited on most days throughout the week. It is wise to check opening times in advance since hours may vary depending on the season and local events.

Carl Larsson and his family are buried in the cemetery beside the church, showing the deep connection between this place and the painter's artistic life. The cemetery itself is a quiet space that preserves the heritage of the region.
