Kville Church, Medieval stone church in Tanum Municipality, Sweden

The stone structure of Kville Church extends across a substantial footprint and features detailed architectural elements characteristic of 19th-century Swedish ecclesiastical design.

Following the Peace Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, Kville Church and its surrounding area transferred from Norwegian to Swedish control, marking a shift in regional governance.

The church serves as a central gathering point for religious ceremonies and community events, maintaining Swedish Lutheran traditions in the Bohuslän region.

Located along road 163 between Fjällbacka and highway E6, the church stands 122 kilometers from Gothenburg and 10 kilometers from Rabbalshede train station.

The church building accommodates 1,800 people, surpassing the current village population of 145 residents and the district population of 2,600 inhabitants.
