Description

The medieval church of Slöta was burned down by Danish troops no less than three times: 1278, 1450 and 1566. It was finally demolished after it was once again burned down by lightning in 1754. The present Gustavian style church was completed in 1820.

There are some artefacts surviving from the older churches like the font dating from the 12th century and pulpit made in 18th century.
