Mollösund Church was inaugurated in 1866, replacing an older wooden church that probably dated back to the thriving herring-fishing era of the 16th century. As the local population grew, the original church became too small and was eventually replaced by the larger building you see today.

Mollösund has a long history as a fishing village dating back to the 16th century. Herring fishing shaped life here for centuries, bringing periods of both prosperity and hardship. At its peak in the early 20th century, around 1,000 people lived in the village. Today, Mollösund is a small coastal community where its maritime past is still easy to discover.
