The worship leader with other services should be raised to the skies for his pastoral care in this temple, today under the evangelical heading "One is necessary"

Särna Kyrka is an active church in Särna, Sweden. The church is in the middle of a very well-kept complex with many graves, some of which are old. The whole garden area gives a feeling of calm and peace. Right next to it you can also visit the Särna Gammelkyrka, the ancestor of the new church, which is very worthwhile.
