Stave church, probably built in 1506 on 12th-century foundations.

In the Middle Ages, hundreds of churches of this wooden construction stood in what is now Sweden. Built shortly after Christianization, they were eventually demolished and replaced by stone or brick churches.

This church in Hedared is the only surviving stave church in all of Sweden.
