Located on the mountain at Ljungs Kile, part of the Fräknefjord, this now whitewashed church was built in 1902 and designed by architect Gustaf Petterson. The white colored church is clearly visible across the fjord to Orust and the church bells ring far and wide. The name Ljung probably comes from the plant heather, which grew in abundance here in the mountains (Lyng 1341), but perhaps also from the Norwegian word slinget (meander). Before 1658 Bohuslän belonged to Norway. The Heide river, which flows near the old church and the present one, meanders and forms meanders.
