16th century church, with baptismal font from the 13th century. Interesting history in the area, closed pole hammer in Mellerud provided it for farmhands and servants.

Small, old and endlessly ornate, this pearl lies by the water. Well worth a visit! Also take the opportunity to have coffee at the old "Kyrkans Gård på Dal" across the road. Next to it is also Sweden's smallest cemetery, which is right next to the road. A single person buried in it.

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
