Rydaholm Church

Rydaholm Parish Church is a hall church and single-nave building from the early 12th century, built in granite. The church steeple with its twin spires and porch are original. The Rydaholm church steeple is built from square-cut stones. Rydaholm Church was rebuilt in the 18th century, as the old nave was considered too small for the local parish.

The roof is covered with standing seam metal sheet, which corresponds to the choice of material on the church roof. The façade is smoothly plastered and painted in a light beige tone, which picks up the colour of the sandstone.

The whitewashed church interior dates from the 1790s. Inside the church there is a triumphal crucifix, a christening font and several stone reliefs from the Middle Ages.

Rydaholm Church differs significantly from most other churches in the surrounding area, in terms of the choice of building material, its workmanship and the nature of the adornments. Rydaholm Church rests on a foundation of squared granite.
