Larsmo archipelago

Larsmo archipelago offers a unique experience throughout the year. In the summertime, you can enjoy the sun and the sea on a boat, or why not visit a sandy beach in the outer archipelago. In the wintertime, you can walk or ski on the ice or maybe try ice fishing.

Larsmo Church and Kvarnbacken

The wooden church was completed in 1787 and designed by Jacob Rijf. The church surroundings are considered historically important. The beautiful wooden church and Marieholm vicarage and the old group of houses at Kvarnbacken constitute a unique cultural environment. A shed made of stone and Framstu byagård have been restored.
