Lidhult's church

The current church was consecrated in 1880 and was built according to the designs of Johan Adolf Hawerman.

The church, built in stone in a historicist mixed style, consists of a rectangular nave with a chancel and a semicircular sacristy behind it. The tower building is equipped with a curved roof with inset clock faces. The closed octagonal lantern is topped with a spire crowned by a cross.

The church has undergone three major renovations, the most recent in 1992–1993. During the renovation of 1929-30, carried out according to the proposal of architect Paul Boberg, the chancel was radically changed. The previously wide chancel, which had been richly decorated with an altarpiece and a screen separating it from the sacristy behind it, was reduced in size. An apse-like chancel was built. The altarpiece was replaced by a medieval triumphal crucifix.
