- It is completely surreal. It just took off, says Martin Jonliden.

Martin, originally from Eksjö and Daniel from Sundsvall, met during their training as a teacher at Jönköping University and have been close friends ever since. And their common humor and interest in history resulted this summer in the Instagram account where pictures of the very worst places in churches are published.

- We thought it was fun and made an account mostly to save the pictures somewhere, says Daniel Sandström.

- We do not laugh at the church or anything that has to do with it, but it is the place that is there that does it, says Martin Jonliden.

The boys visit churches themselves and take pictures, but also get many sent to them by their followers.

- There are many really bad places, but it was probably so before, you had to fill the churches to the brim, says Martin.

And which is the worst you've seen so far?

- In Särna church there are places under the pulpit itself. It is under all criticism, says Daniel with a laugh.
