Seglora church. Stockholm. Djurgården. Skansen.

            Seglora Church (Seglora kyrka) comes from a parish in Västergötland. The old wooden church dating from 1730 was abandoned when a new church, built of stone, was erected in 1903. 

The church was built of local materials; the plinth is of gneiss and the walls made of wood. Both the roof and the walls are lined with oak shingles on the outside and these are painted with a mixture of tar and traditional red paint. The tower was built in the 1780s. Prior to that the bells hung in a separate belfry. The organ is from 1770.

Hanging in the porch is a long rod that the verger used for waking parishioners who fell asleep during the sermon. Each farm had its own pews in the church. Women and men sat on opposite sides of the aisle; women to the left and men to the right. This custom lived on in the countryside into the 20th century. 

The wooden church was moved to Skansen in 1916 and found a new lease of life as one of Sweden’s most popular churches for weddings.
