The church in Andrarrum was built in the 12th century. Originally it consisted of a
nave,
chancel and an
apse. During the 15th century, the earlier ceiling was replaced with
vaults. A small southern
transept was built in 1709, and in 1768 a large northern transept was constructed, to house the congregation which had grown because of the foundation of the nearby
alum factory, an early example of
industrialisation in Sweden. With the new, large transept, the
altar was moved to the southern transept, while the earlier nave was more or less destroyed during the rebuilding. The tower was built in 1817, and the
sacristy in 1862. The chancel still contains some
late medieval murals from the second half of the 15th century. They depict the
Four Evangelists and their symbols. The
baptismal font is the oldest item in the church, and was probably installed when the church was originally built in the 12th century. The
pulpit and
altarpiece are both from 1742, and in
Baroque style. They were donated to the church by
Christina Piper. ==References==
