Angerdshestra Church (Angerdshestra kyrka) was built of wood in 1669. Both the church exterior and roof are clad with wooden shingles.Adjacent to the church is a wooden bell tower which was built at that same time. The church was rebuilt in 1817 to the current three-sided choir. During a restoration in 1910, lumber from a previous wooden church was found from the early 1200s, partly with fragments of wall paintings from the early 1500s.[4] [5]
