Helena Elisabeth Church was built on one of the largest islands of the Holmöarna group near Umeå in northern Sweden.
The Helena Elisabeth Church was originally built in 1802 on the largest island of the Holmöarna group near Umea.
This was the first church in the area, and it was required because the population could not travel to the mainland to worship.
The church was named for Helena Elisabeth Grahn from Umeå who contributed the cost of the communion silver.
Until 1955 this church was used for various secular purposes, including use as a sheep barn.
