Ovikens Gamla Kyrka

The Old Church in Oviken, Jamtland, Sweden. Built in the middle ages. It's not known exactly when, but it was expanded in 1503. The bell tower was built in 1751-52.

The church was abandoned in 1905 when the New Church was completed.

After major restorations completed in 1935 this old church again became the main church in Oviken.

The New Church is next in my photo stream.
