In 1020 the construction of a stave church began. However, the Romanesque church as seen today dates from the 12th century and replaced the wooden church. This makes the sacred building in Husaby one of the oldest stone churches in Sweden. In the 14th century the building was decorated with Gothic pointed arches and a century later it received new frescoes. Some of the inventory, such as the pulpit and the altar, have been dated to the 17th century. However, important inventory of the church has been preserved from the Middle Ages: for example, an inscription on the baptismal font from the 13th century, the bishop's throne and some sculptures also come from this era.

Kata Gård is a private farm church from the Viking Age. Archaeologists have made sensational finds here during their excavations. The church's crypt is possibly the oldest surviving room in Sweden. The church ruins were named after a woman's skeleton: At the end of the Viking Age, Kata ruled over the farm belonging to the church. The excavations revealed that Varnhem was Christianized a century before the rest of Sweden. An information building was erected at the excavation site: Here, modern architecture is combined with walls that are thousands of years old. Some tombs, including Kata's tomb, can be seen through panes of glass in the floor.

One of Sweden's few cathedrals, built in the Gothic style in the 13th century, the interior is simply decorated and sublime in its Gothic architecture. There is a lot to discover at the pulpit and the grave monument of Erik Soop in the left aisle. Colonel Soop was very successful in the Thirty Years' War and thus received the privilege of being buried in the cathedral by the king and the parish. His wife only wanted the best for her husband and herself and commissioned the imposing monument in Holland. She is also depicted on the tombstone, but is not buried there. Since women were always buried with their husbands in the 17th century, but nothing is known of their whereabouts, the suspicion arises that they had secret affairs or fell victim to a crime. Also worth seeing: the richly decorated pulpit and the organ.
