Holsljunga kyrka: Holsljunga church was built in 1834 and was consecrated in 1835. The master builder was Johan Wennberg from Sandhult, and parishioners contributed free days of labour. The present church has had to be reinforced and bolted together with iron rods due to subsidence in the foundation.



The church was restored in 1865, 1892, 1932, 1966 and 1995. During the 1932 restoration, the artist Einar Forseth painted a new altarpiece. The old altarpiece was hung on the south nave wall. The textile artist Elisabet Brenner, resident in Holsljunga, was responsible for the colour scheme in the most recent renovation. The two church bells were cast in 1787 by Fries in Jönköping, but the larger one was recast in 1872 by C.A Norling, also in Jönköping.

A church organ has existed since 1825. In 1902 a new organ was built, which served until 1977, when a new organ was put into use. This organ was built by Tostareds Orgelfabrik and has 17 stops.

The font dates from the 13th century. Among the older items in the church, mention should also be made of a Charles XII Bible from 1703 and a chasuble from the 19th century. The two oldest chandeliers date from the church's construction in 1834, while the others have been acquired over the course of time.
