Skederid Church

The area surrounding the church is rich in cultural heritage, having been the site of continuous population since at least the Bronze Age.

[1] The church was ravaged by fire some time during the 14th century, and the original wooden ceiling destroyed.

A substantial enlargement of the church was carried out in the 15th century, when the present-day nave and interior vault were constructed.

[2] The church has housed a number of medieval furnishings, most now in the Swedish History Museum,[2] and possibly also relics (now lost) of Saint Bridget.

[2] A number of carved wooden epitaphs belonging to various aristocratic families adorn the walls of the church.
