Ytterlännäs


Ytterlännäs is a parish in the Diocese of Härnösand in Västernorrland County, Sweden.

Ytterlännäs parish, in the province of Ångermanland, belonged to the Archdiocese of Uppsala in the Middle Ages, but has been part of the Diocese of Härnösand since its formation in 1647. The two churches of the parish, the old one from the early 13th century, and the new one from 1848–1854, are located between the communities of Nyland and Bollstabruk, within Kramfors Municipality.

The Ytterlännäs Old Church dates from the 13th century and features medieval vaults, wall-paintings and wooden sculptures, and baroque furnishings including the unusual feature of two galleries; the Ytterlännäs Madonna is regarded by experts as a particularly fine example of the work from the Hälsingland workshop of , all in an excellent state of preservation thanks to the church's being abandoned after 1854.

The Ytterlännäs New Church was completed in 1854 and is an example of the style known as a so-called Tegnér barn.
