Östra Fågelviks kyrka

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.

Kristinehamn Church, designed by the architect Carl Georg Brunius in 1846 and built from 1847 to 1858, is one of the earliest examples of neo-Gothic architecture in Sweden. Kristinehamn Church is the second church in the city. When Kristinehamn was granted town rights in 1642, the old parish church in Varnum was moved to Kristinehamn, about 300 metres northwest of the present church site. This old church was abandoned in 1858 when the new church was completed.

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.
