Södra Råda Old Church was an early 14th century timbered church in the parish of Södra Råda in southern Värmland in Sweden. Long considered one of the finest and best-preserved examples of a medieval wooden church with its original wall-paintings preserved, it fell victim to an act of arson in 2001. A Swedish specialist on medieval painting has called it "one of the greatest losses to art history in recent times".[1]
