Lane-Ryrs kyrka and the Lummiga Lane cycling route offer two different starting points for a trip to Lane-Ryr: one takes you into the history of architecture, while the other is a 35-kilometre route through the area. Örtagården is located just below the church and serves as a youth hostel year-round.

Church and architectural history

Lane-Ryrs kyrka is a church in the Romanesque style, completed in 1874 to designs by Albert Törnqvist. It is the third church to stand on this site. These details answer different questions: the style, architect and year of completion place the present-day building in context; the number of churches points to the sequence of buildings on the same site. For a cultural and historical perspective, you can therefore consider both the church’s design and the history of its location. The year 1874 marks the completion of the present-day church and provides a specific point of reference for comparison with other buildings.

Bridge and river setting

Stötegårdsbron is a stone arch bridge built in 1846 over the watercourse beside Lane-Ryrs kyrka. Its location beside the church gives the bridge a clear spatial connection; its design and year of construction also identify it as a structure in its own right. Based on the dates, the bridge was built 28 years before the church was completed. This makes it possible to put two different types of construction and their chronological order into context.

Bäveån flows into Risån south of Lane-Ryrs kyrka. The church is the reference point for the direction, with the confluence lying to its south. The relationship between the rivers is also clearly stated: Bäveån flows into Risån, and this confluence lies south of the church.

Explore by bike

The Lummiga Lane cycling route runs from Uddevalla via Lane Fagerhult and Lane-Ryr, returning to Uddevalla. It is 35 kilometres long. The return to Uddevalla makes the route easy to follow as a loop; Lane Fagerhult and Lane-Ryr are named points along the way. This allows you to plan your cycling trip based on its length and the sequence of places described. Check the current route before setting out, as route details may change. The kilometre figure describes the route length, not the time it takes to ride; when planning your day, consider both the route and how much time you want to set aside for cycling.
