Floda

Floda lies beside the waters connecting Lake Flosjön with the Västerdalälven in Dalarna. A church is mentioned here in 1332, probably a simple wooden chapel; a stone church is thought to have followed in the early fifteenth century. Floda became an independent parish in the early seventeenth century. Its medieval church was greatly enlarged in the eighteenth century, as the congregation reshaped its place of worship to serve a growing community along the river and lake.
