Holmsunds kyrka

Umeå Municipality · Västerbotten County

Holmsunds kyrka was built in 1863 by Dickson & Co in connection with their sawmill in Holmsund. It was a mill church until 1918, when Holmsund formed its own parish. In 1986 an extension with a kitchen and meeting rooms was added. Since then the church has been used by many different activities every day of the week.
