Billinge church.
The church was built in brick in 1865 according to drawings by the architect Helgo Zettervall.
The church was inaugurated on August 27, 1865. The inscription on a stone plaque above the church's main entrance, donated by the mill owner Måns Sonesson, has the year 1864. A rainy summer and early winter this year delayed the church building. The old church, which was demolished in 1863-1864, was 47 1/2 cubits long and 14 1/4 cubits wide. It was in the same place as the new one, but there is no picture of the old church.
