History
In the 17th century a lumber longhousechurch was built in Ransäter, after initiative from Johan Börjesson Carlberg.[1] In the 1740s the church was rebuilt as a cross church, but on 6 December 1983 the church burnt down. The present wood church opened on Candlemas Day 1986, where the architect was Jerk Alton.[2] The church also includes pictures by Sven-Bertil Svensson. The pipe organ in the church was built in 1988 by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri.[3]
