Dimbo-Ottravads kyrka

Until the early nineteenth century, Dimbo and Ottravad each had their own Romanesque parish church, both believed to date from the 1100s. By the early 1800s both were considered too small, and were demolished in 1812 and 1814. A single new church was built on a hilltop in Dimbo to serve both communities, completed in 1817 to a neoclassical design attributed to the architect Per Wilhelm Palmroth, and stone from the two demolished churches was reused as building material.

The new building is a cross-shaped church, its plan seemingly dictated by the limited space available on the summit of the hill. The tower and sacristy were added on the north side, forming one arm of the cross. The style has been likened to the whitewashed, spacious 'Tegnér churches' found in Småland, with large windows giving a bright interior. In the 1970s a small chapel, sometimes called a 'church within the church', was created in the south transept.

A major renovation in 1913 altered the chancel considerably: the round window in the gable was replaced by a group of three windows, the chancel area was reduced in size, a triumphal arch was added, and a cross-vault was built above. The original wooden altar cross was removed and replaced with a copy of Bertel Thorvaldsen's Risen Christ, one source dating this copy to 1911. Further redecoration followed in the 1930s, including new colour schemes for the roof, walls and pews, and stained glass by Yngve Lundström in the chancel windows, intended to reduce glare for the congregation. A large glass mosaic window behind the altar, donated by a parishioner in the 1930s, is also noted among the church's features.　

Among the older fittings is a silver or wine jug given to the church in 1679 by Countess Christina Brahe of Visingsborg, along with carved wooden angels, a chandelier, a crucifix and an incense burner said to come from the earlier churches. A stone tablet from 1679 above the door, commissioned by Per Brahe the Younger, commemorates Bishop Bengt the Good, traditionally linked with the founding of the old Dimbo church.

The church bells also came from the older buildings. The largest, cast in 1738, weighs around 375 kg. The middle bell is medieval, thought to date from the 1200s, and is among the oldest church bells still in use in Sweden; it is still rung by hand with its original wrought-iron clapper, while the other two bells are rung electrically. The smallest bell is also medieval, cast around 1500. The old Ottravad font, a cylindrical Romanesque piece from the 1100s carved with eight relief scenes by a leading stonemason of the period, was sold to the Swedish History Museum in 1878 as it was thought unsuited to the new church, though one source notes it has since been kept at Dimbo-Ottravad church since 2009. The organ, originally built in 1856 with a surviving silent facade, was rebuilt in 1912 and again in 1981, and now has ten stops.
