Bottnaryd Church I

The wooden church was built in 1667 and a bell tower in 1686. Since the congregation was poor, it was not until 1693 that they could afford to hire a church painter for the decorations inside.

Both roof and walls are covered with shingles and the walls are painted with traditional red paint which contains pigment from the copper-mine in Falun, Dalecarlia.

The church belongs to the Norra Mo Parish within the Diocese of Skara of the Church of Sweden. It is situated in Jönköping municipality.
