Discover historic Vallda

Vallda Kyrkby is an old agricultural and church village. Many of the well-preserved farmhouses date mainly from the early and mid-19th century and give the village its rural character. Vallda säteri is also part of the area’s history: its origins date back to the 16th century.

Another prominent cultural landmark is Vallda kyrka, which was built in the 13th century. The baptismal font is the oldest object in the church. At Vallda kapell, in the Berättelsernas rum area, a harvest festival is considered an old, popular and sociable tradition. Places and traditions like these make Vallda particularly interesting for travellers who want to shape their stay not only around activities but also around insights into the history of the surrounding area.

Experience the church village and park on a walk

It follows municipal information boards to Vallda kyrka, Gustafsberg, Säteriet and Gårdarna. At a leisurely walking pace, the tour takes about 30 minutes. This makes it possible to include Vallda’s historic side in your daily plans without having to set aside an entire day.

Vallda kyrkpark is open around the clock. This makes it possible to fit the park flexibly into your day of travel; you can also take in the historic village setting while there.

Golf in the old oak forest

Vallda Golf & Country Club has an 18-hole course inspired by Scottish design. The course is located in an old oak forest, giving it a distinctive landscape setting. The club welcomes guests with or without golf clubs. This also makes Vallda appealing to travellers whose group members do not all share the same sporting focus.
