The exact period of the cemetery’s foundation is unknown. However, the oldest tombstone is dated to the early 20th century, so it can be assumed it was constructed in that period. The cemetery is not marked on old maps. The wall was erected by the ESJF in August 2015.

Vatnås Church is a small cross church with a turret in the centre of the cross plan and an open annex in front of the west portal. The year of construction of the church cannot be determined exactly, as the church accounts are not preserved. Based on information from the parish priest Bernhoft in 1745 and the inscriptions on the church and its furnishings, the date of construction has been fixed at around 1660. The interior was restored in 1947-48 with much of its original furniture and appearance.
