Went to Sunnmore Museum and recommend a side visit to this lovely church. It was locked so we could not see inside ut the church has lovely wooden doors and steeple.

This is a very pretty church and super well kept cemetery. The grounds are immaculate and the church is small and very cute. This is the third time I have visited here and it doesn't change at all...

Very nice church. I was here a lot when I was a kid. I went to Larsgården school and we were here for a Christmas service. I lived not far away and was often past the church. I stopped by this summer, but unfortunately was not allowed to be inside the church.
