Agnetorp's old church

In this place was formerly Agnetorp's old church, a medieval church on the northern shore of Tidan. The church was demolished in 1840 in connection with the construction of Tidaholm's church. The ruin of the old church was excavated and examined in 1953. The outer walls were then marked with limestone slabs.
The oldest stone church was probably built during the Romanesque period in the 12th century and had a rectangular nave with narrower chancel. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, a nave was probably erected outside the church entrance in the southwest. In 1753 the church was built further.
The grave chancel on the site was built by the Rudbeck family. The front of the chancel has the inscription
"Pehr Alexander and Anna Elisabeth von Axelsson - united in life - united in death".
Per Alexander Rudbeck owned Tidaholm's manor and was the one who initiated industrialization in Tidaholm by building Tidaholm's ironworks in 1799.
