Description

Våmb Church was built during the first half of 12th century except the tower, which was added some decades later. According to legend, the church is built by St. Helena of Skövde at her farm in Våmb. It was also largely built because of generous donations from her.

The major restoration was made in the late 1800s and between 1944-1945. The interior is well-preserved and consists of several medieval sculptures and reliefs.
