Lyrestad Church was rebuilt in 1674. It was preceded by a medieval stone church in the same place and partly on the same foundation. Walls in the western part of the north wall and some installations such as the triumphal crucifix and a sculpture of the hanged Judas have probably survived. The pulpit is in Renaissance style and was painted in 1652.

Beautiful church of Lyrestad. Also worth seeing inside! The small twin towers on the apse on the east side are special.
