History

The groundbreaking ceremony was conducted by King Adolf Frederick personally. The ceremonial inauguration on November 28, 1774 next to the king of Bishop Dr. Daniel Herweghr, the Magister Wykman, the court conductor Francesco Uttini and the priest Dr. Nils Rensen and Jacob Nymansson were the Duke of Södermanland (later Charles XIII. ), Present. The latter gave the opening sermon.

In front of the church was located since 1674 a wooden chapel, which was dedicated to Saint Olav and was still used during the construction period, as the church was initially built around the chapel.

The present church is decorated in classical style, with details in the Rococo. She has the outline of a equilateral cross and is crowned by a tower-like structure with windows.
