Grangärde church is
believed to have been built in the later half of the 15th century. On 1st
of July 1716 lightning struck the church and the tower, roof and benches were
destroyed and the bells melted. In October the same year king Karl XII granted
nationwide collections to be made in order to rebuild the church. Fairly soon
the church was partially built up so it could be used. The high sceptre was however
never rebuilt and the tower was covered in a flat wooden
roof. New bells were also made for the church.
