Gräsmark Church

The church of Gräsmark was built in 1738 and it replaced an earlier wooden church from 1661. It has a beautiful painted ceiling (Erik Jonaues) and Late Baroque style interior. The pulpit and altar were made by Isak Schullström in 1753.

I made the comment 4 years ago about my relatives being buried in He church cemetery. My email has changed and since then, I found a dry kind lady wo grew up in Grasmark. I am deeply thankful to Alina Johanzson who made a trip to the cemetery, took a picture of the headstone and placed flowers on the grave! My Great Grandmother Kajsa Jansdotter married my grandfather Karl Hjalmar Olson. I learned my Grear Great Grandmother. Paulina Fogelin Olson was a licensed midwife. I live in America and it meant so much to me that Aina Johanzson showed such kindness to me!

My Grandmother grew up in Grasmark and attended this church. Her mother & grandmother are buried in the church cemetery. I have tried to find out how I can have flowers placed on their graves. I also would love a picture of their grave. My great, great, great grandmother was the first licensed midwife there.
