This is a large country style church and worth a visit. Not far from here there is another interesting little forest chapel about 4 km north of Undernäs.

Baulich ganz besondere Kirche! Sehr sehenswert!

Nice playground in the shade

Directly at the harbor of Hjo, the playground invites you to take a break. The children can play and the parents can enjoy the break with a beautiful view of the lake.

Hjo, the wooden town on Vättern. Anyone traveling on the west bank of Vättern on the route from Jönköping to Askersund should visit Hjo. Hjo is considered one of the three most beautiful "wooden towns" in Sweden (the others are Nora in the Örebro region and Eksjö in northern Småland). In the center of Hjo, there are particularly many beautiful wooden villas. Most of them date from the late 19th century. Source: https://schwedentipps.se/vaestergoetland/hjo

The current stone church was built in the late 18th century according to the existing floor plan. The church consists of a rectangular nave with an apse extended to the west and east. The western one houses an organ gallery, the eastern one serves as the chancel. Side tower to the center on the south side of the nave. The old sacristy has a similar location to the north. Although the 18th century wall sections of the church are completely preserved, the exterior is partly characterized by changes made around the turn of the century in 1900, when the towering spire was added. The walls are plastered - albeit with exposed corner chains - and are pierced by round-arched window openings. The interior is covered by a barrel vault, helmet vaults above the apse. The church still retains its late Gustavian character, although changes have taken place. In connection with the turn-of-the-century remodeling, stained glass was inserted into the corabide side.
