  • A wooden church was built in the years 1729-1730 for the village of Seglora near Borås. In 1903 this building was replaced by a stone church. The wooden building was transferred to Skansen near Stockholm in 1916, where the church was inaugurated on May 26, 1918.
  • The church now houses an organ from 1777, built by Jonas Ekengren for Films Kyrka in Uppland. In 1858 M. Wesslin, organist in Lövsta, replaced the Mixtur 2 chor by a Vox Candida 8'. In 1872 the organ was decommissioned. It served for a while in a school, and was sold in 1908 to the Nordiska Museet in Stockholm. It stood in this building from 1929 to 1962. In 1962 it was restored by Bröderna Moberg under the advice of Gotthard Arnér, after which it was transferred to Seglora Kyrka. A remarkable stop is the Vox Candida, which was placed in 1858 on the site of a Mixtur 2 kor. This register has remained during the restoration.
