The church in Virserum was built in 1880-81 and is predominantly in the Gothic Revival style. Before the current church, there stood both a wooden and a stone church. The last of these was demolished in 1879 because it had no antiquarian value and could no longer meet the needs of the growing congregation.

There's a boat dock right next to the small bay where the Virserumsån River flows into the lake. It's a great place to observe the activity on the lake, as long as there's already something going on. It's sure to be a very busy spot in the summer.
