Get to know Högsäter through a distinctive landscape and cultural landmark: Högsäter Church stands on a gravel ridge 37 metres above the Valboån, which winds through the landscape. If you are interested in the connection between architectural history and landscape, this setting is a good place to start.

A Neo-Gothic church with a distinctive floor plan

The church was built in the Neo-Gothic style from 1900 to 1902 and completed for its inauguration in 1902. Its history can therefore be traced to a clearly defined period. At the same time, the building has retained its original design, both inside and out—a striking feature for visitors interested in architecture and its state of preservation.

The floor plan also gives the building a distinctive form: it follows a Latin cross, while the five-sided chancel narrows towards the east. These details add specific architectural features to the stylistic description. You can appreciate not only the church’s Neo-Gothic design but also its spatial form.
