This Evangelical Lutheran parish church was built in 1950 to replace the one destroyed during the war. Designed by the architect Bertel Lilje-quist, it stands on the same spot where three previous churches had stood. The interior is quite beautiful, noted for its wall and ceiling decorations, wood carvings, and the altar fresco, Fountain of Life, by Lennart Segerstrale.
