Nässja kyrka

The church in Nässja has a special exterior with a clapboard roof that is rolled. The east gable's round windows, the roof ridge and the window openings give the church building a distinctive appearance.

Some visitors think that the church from the east resembles some kind of fairy tale character. Nässja church - a place where imagination and creative thinking can create joy and meaning. In Nässja, a story is also told about an Anders Johansson who lived in Nässja in the 18th century. He was married to Britta. One day, Britta disappeared from home without a trace. After some time she came back and told that the troll had taken her to a nearby mountain. There she had been assigned to milk 18 white cows. After she managed to escape, she came back. The pastor was outraged when he heard the story. He did not like superstitions and lies. Britta was called in for questioning. She then admitted that everything was made up. In fact, she had hidden in an outhouse where the maid had brought her food. The reason she disappeared was that Anders was harsh and life at home had become unbearable for her. The vicar was understanding and diplomatic. After some time, Anders received a letter from the troll. They threatened to take Britta away for good unless Anders became a better husband.

FOR THOSE WHO CYCLE THE PILGRIM RUNDAN

Have you heard any story or event where creative thinking and imagination have been able to help someone?

When I hear the clear song of the thrush, when the lark

rejoicing all day long, high above fields and hills,

then I can't keep quiet.

My God, as long as I exist, for life I thank you.
