This lovely wooden church stands gracious and glows with colour in Uppland, about an hour’s drive north of us.
The yellow box hanging so wonkily from its red fence is a post box.
Seems as if the church is a collecting point for letters as well as for souls.
And after 500 years or so, the church is still glowing like a ruby.

Hi Lady Fi,
The tower and cupola on the church look so ornate compared to it’s “body.” The red is wonderful – it does seem like a jewel in the landscape.

The tower is really grand compared to the rest of it. The church has just lovely punamulta (Falun red?) paint. A yellow mailbox this time. I think this is a round of mailboxes.

Gorgeous! There is a red church up on the west coast of Norway we use to drive past on our way down here, it’s really lovely also and this reminded me of that!
Come to think of it, the majority of buildings in Sweden are red and white aren’t they?? I joke that they must have had a sale on red and white paint…or was there some other story to why that colour is perdominant in the Swedish buildings?

I’d never have guessed it was 500 years old – I’d have put it down to the last century. It’s gorgeous!

Is the interior as nondescript as the exterior? That jewel-finding eye of yours is pretty talented.
