Kristinehamns kyrka

Östra Fågelviks church was started in 1715 and work proceeded in stages until 1726, when a stone church with a typical plan of the time, consisting of a rectangular nave and a three-sided choir, was completed. Prior to this, there had been a wooden church on the same site since 1691. It burned down only after a decade of existence.

The Södra Råda Gamla Church used to be a timbered church from the beginning of the 14th century. It was one of the oldest preserved wooden churches in Sweden and it was especially known for its wonderful preserved paintings which covered the walls and ceiling. The oldest images were dated from 1323. The works were considered one of the best-preserved Scandinavian paintings from the Middle Ages. On the 12th of November 2001, the church burned down. A man, who was mentally ill, was convicted for enlighting the fire which had destroyed the church. Since then, a project led by the Swedish National Heritage Board has been excavating the site and reconstructing the church. They decided to only use medieval methods to reconstruct everything.

On the site of Karlstad Cathedral there was already a church in the 13th century. During the fire of 1616, the church burned down and another one was built, which was destroyed very soon by another fire. The present cathedral was built between 1723 and 1730 and had a baroque style before it was renovated in neoclassical style at the end of the 19th century after a fire in 1865.
