Kristinehamns kyrka

When Kristinehamn's church was completed in 1858, the town was growing. The new church was located outside the city's old fence - which was located along the North, South, East and West fence streets. The new church was designed by Professor C.G. Brunius, and the style is clearly neo-Gothic.

Inside the church, however, older times live on. The baptismal font dates from the 13th century, the triumphal crucifix from the 14th century, and there are textiles and silver from several centuries. Much of this was moved here from the city's old wooden church.

There is a small museum in the choir loft, and the church is open for visits most days. Many eras meet here in quiet peacefulness.
