Tips from the Community
The oldest parts of the church date back to the 12th century. As is typical of many churches in Sweden, the nave and tower are separate. This is due to the fact that, when churches were built, there was often a lack of money and materials for a separate tower. These were often rebuilt later in a different style and material (often wood). The church owns three bridal crowns, including a rare pearl crown whose origin is thought to be from Russia.

Bolmsö Church is a church building in Växjö Diocese, belonging to Bolmsö Parish. The church, completed in 1863, is located on the island of Bolmsö in Lake Bolmen. The church is built of stone and consists of a rectangular nave with a slightly narrower circular chancel to the east. The sanctuary is separated from the nave by a round arch opening. To the north is the sacristy and to the west is the church tower. The entrances are on the west and in the middle of the south side. The nave has a gabled roof covered with single-domed red bricks. The rounded sanctuary is covered with red lacquered sheet metal. The tower roof with spire is clad in copper. The dome is clad with a plain red panel and has a lower cornice with a spire clock.

The Bolmia cable ferry operates between the island of Bolmsö in Lake Bolmen and Sunnaryd. It is the longest cable ferry in Sweden and connects the island of Bolmsö in Kronobergs län with Sunnaryd in Jönköpings län over a distance of about 1km. The crossing over Lake Bolmen takes ten minutes, takes place directly on site after a small telephone request and is free of charge. The ferry connection to the island, called Bolmsöleden, has existed since 1872. Until 1927 it was operated with rowing boats, after which the first motor-driven ferry was used. A larger motor ferry running from 1950 was replaced in 1969 by the Bolmia, which was put into operation by the Vägverket road authority in Stockholm as Färja 62/285. The assembly of the ship took place after prefabrication of the parts directly on site. In 1992 the ferry was taken over by Färjerederiet Vägverket (later Trafikverket Färjerederiet) and was named Bolmia in the process.
