16th century church, with baptismal font from the 13th century. Interesting history in the area, closed pole hammer in Mellerud provided it for farmhands and servants.

Small, old and endlessly ornate, this pearl lies by the water. Well worth a visit! Also take the opportunity to have coffee at the old "Kyrkans Gård på Dal" across the road. Next to it is also Sweden's smallest cemetery, which is right next to the road. A single person buried in it.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
