Mora Church and Bell Tower

The church is situated on a narrow isthmus in the northern part of the town of Mora, between the northwestern end of Siljan and the Österdal river.The oldest part of Mora Church was probably built in the late 13th century or around 1300. It was built of gray stone and consisted of a nave, narrower chancels and a sacristy.Around the year 1400 the church was extended to the west and at the end of the 15th century another part was added - a rectangular hall church with three naves and a vaulted roof. A little later, an armory was also added in the south. In 1581 a strong west tower was built, probably with a high spire at the top.From the oldest part of the church, some wall sections have been preserved, such as the north wall of the nave and parts of the east and west walls of the sacristy.
