    After the previous building collapsed on the day of its inauguration, the new building was completed in 1853.

      Knäred is a locality (tätort) in the Swedish municipality of Laholm, which belongs to the province of Hallands län. Knäred is located about 20 km east of the main town of the municipality, the small town of Laholm, and has a good 1200 inhabitants (as of 2015).

      The village church, built in 1854, contains the bells and crucifix of a medieval church that stood on the same site.

      The river Lagan has several important rapids at Knäred with hydroelectric power stations, which in earlier times supplied electricity to both southern Sweden and Denmark's Zealand. The Karseforsen rapid downstream from the village has the highest drop at 32 metres.

      On January 20, 1613, a peace treaty between Denmark and Sweden was signed in town, ending the Kalmar War. Sweden had to pay a million Reichstaler over six years to keep Älvsborg Fortress. In the nearby town of Sjöared there is a memorial stone to this peace treaty.
