Augerum Church is located next to the Lyckebyån river. The church building, designed by architect Jacob Wilhelm Gerss (1784-1844), was built in the neoclassical style in 1819–1822. In 1862, the exterior was altered by the erection of a tower in the north according to drawings by architect Albert Törnqvist (1819-1898).[3] [4]

Augerum Manor has two main buildings, the older one built about 1720 by pharmacist Johan Eberhard Ferber (1678-1761); the newer one, called Stora Hus, in 1810 by Admiral Providence Master Carl Schweber. In 1855, the property was bought by Chancellor of Justice Nils von Koch (1801-1881) and his spouse Frances F. Lewin (1804-1888). The estate is still owned by members of their family.[5] [6] [7][8]
