Särna gammelkyrka, Historical church building in Älvdalen Municipality, Sweden

Located at coordinates 61.69503 latitude and 13.14194 longitude, Särna gammelkyrka stands as a traditional Swedish church with a distinctive tower from 1706.

The church construction started in 1684 after Charles XI granted three years of tax exemption to support the village's need for a larger worship space.

The church complex represents Swedish religious architecture and includes a cemetery that documents the generations of local community members since the 17th century.

Svenska Kyrkan maintains this ecclesiastical building, which opens during summer months for religious services and musical performances at Hammargårdsvägen 10.

After a fire destroyed its roof in 1856, the church remained abandoned until 1953, when renovations allowed it to resume its function as a summer venue.

Location: Älvdalen Municipality

Operator: Svenska Kyrkan
