Andreas & Ã…sa's Wedding Celebration 2025
The ceremony
The ceremony will take place on July 12 at 3:00 PM in Ljusnarsberg Church, which is located in the former mining town of Kopparberg, about an hour's drive north of Örebro. There is a daily train to the village for those of you who do not want or have the opportunity to drive your own car. Should this be the case and you do not feel like walking the 2 km up the hill to the church, we will of course arrange for a car to come and pick you up. Of course, we want all guests to be there in good time as much as possible, as we have a full day in addition to our wonderful time in the church.
In the church you will then be assigned to each side and pew. And since we would like everyone to get as far forward as possible, you will be evenly distributed. Don't be shy - you are all our friends and deserve the best seats possible.
Below we will add more detailed information as it becomes available. Updates will also be posted on social media, but since not everyone has access to it, or the algorithms do not always update correctly, we believe it is important that you check the page yourself. References to updates will appear on the front page with a direct link to the correct page.
Ljusnarsberg Church
Ljusnarsberg Church celebrates its 390th anniversary in 2025. The original church was small and square and lacked both floors and doors at the inauguration. The church has acquired its current appearance through, among other things, an adventurous construction project in the late 17th century and a thorough restoration in the late 19th century.
The church is expanding
Towards the end of the 17th century, the population had grown to just over 2,000 people and the church was too small. The then vicar Simon Bjurbäck then carried out the adventurous project of expanding the church by sawing it in half. The choir section was moved east and a transept was inserted in between. It is said that Bjurbäck led the work while sitting on a horse, ready to flee if the project had failed and the church collapsed. Now everything went well and we got the cruciform church that we have today, albeit crooked and windy. The church became almost four times larger than before, the facade was painted red and the roof was tarred.
Restoration 1891-1892
At the end of the 18th century, the church underwent a major repair when, among other things, more windows were removed and the church room was painted in a blue-green imitation of marble. Over the next hundred years, the church fell into disrepair as maintenance was neglected. In 1891-1892, a necessary restoration was carried out that was strongly influenced by national romanticism. The entire interior was replaced, the floor was redone, a new altarpiece, a new altar ring, new open benches and new gallery barriers were built. The rest of the interior was characterized by the thinly oil-glazed pine surfaces and the painted flower garlands on the ceiling, executed according to the instructions of architect Agi Lindegren. In 1975, a new extensive restoration was planned, which was never carried out, so the church as it stands today is remarkably unchanged since 1892.
The Ljusnarsberg pastorate, Kopparberg, was formed by breaking away from the Linde pastorate. On All Saints' Day in 1635, the church, which was then called Allhelgonakyrkan, was consecrated by the dean Petrus Drivius from Arboga. Compared to how the church looks today, it was then almost square with a three-sided choir. At the consecration, there was a foundation, walls and roof, but the floor, benches, doors and pulpit were missing. In any case, the building could be used as a church to celebrate church services in. The church construction progressed so slowly and the church was provided with floors and benches and the outside was covered with wood chips. It was not until 1678 that the exterior was finished with the walls and roof tarred. In 1673, the church received the pulpit that still stands. The pulpit was made in Lindesberg at the workshop of Lindemästaren Lars Stångelson.
The bell tower
The logs in the belfry are the original ones from 1640, when it was built. The belfry has three bells that were originally cast in the 17th century, but all were recast in 1738 by bell-caster Isaac Rockman from Sala. The large bell weighs 1,300 kg, the medium bell 900 kg and the small bell weighs 470 kg. The large bell was donated by Queen Christina in 1637.
