Malmbäck: Church and Klappasjön

Malmbäck in Sweden’s Jönköping region offers a church with a long history, a local heritage site and the Klappabadet bathing spot. When choosing a holiday rental, its actual location relative to the village centre or lake is important.

Church and history

• Malmbäck Church was inaugurated in 1828.
• The site of Malmbäck Church is believed to have probably been an ancient church site; the first church was likely built in the 11th or 12th century.
• The former church and the freestanding bell tower in Malmbäck were destroyed in 1817 by a fire caused by a lightning strike.

Heritage site and lake

• Malmbäck’s local heritage site consists of five rooms and a kitchen and is located in a park area.
• The Driften bakehouse at Malmbäck’s local heritage site dates from around 1700.
• Klappabadet is a bathing spot on Klappasjön in Malmbäck.
• An area northeast of Malmbäck includes woodland and farmland; the Malmbäcksån flows through this area.

Choose suitable accommodation

The historic predecessor of the church is only tentatively dated to the 11th or 12th century. Klappabadet is a named bathing spot, but water quality and the season should be checked for current information. Nearby Klappa, linked here, is a separate place; a holiday rental there is not necessarily the same distance from Malmbäck.

For regional context: Nässjö.
