Tjärstad Church

Tjärstad Church is a white wooden structure with traditional Nordic architectural details set in the Swedish countryside. The building sits alongside its cemetery, both part of a single registered complex of religious heritage.

The church was built in 1778 and has kept its original form through more than 200 years of continuous service. It has remained an active place of worship within the Linkoping diocese since its construction.

The church and its cemetery form a single religious and social space where generations of local people have gathered for worship and remembrance. This connection between spiritual life and community memory still shapes how visitors experience the place.

The church is accessible by road through the regional network in a rural area of Kinda Municipality. Visitors should respect this as an active place of worship when planning their visit.

The church complex holds the status of a protected religious heritage site, safeguarding both the structure and its surrounding grounds. This official designation ensures the preservation of this historic place for the future.
