Leksand Church

It is one of the largest rural churches in Sweden, with room for 2300 people. The area has been used as a Christian burial ground since the 11th century, and archaeologists have found traces of a church building on the site dating to the 12th century. The oldest parts of the current church building date back to the 13th century, making it the oldest church in Siljansbygden. It got its current design, with the characteristic onion dome, during the 18th century. The Swedish romantic composer Hugo Alfvén is buried here.
