Sund is a hamlet in Ydre Municipality in the South Swedish highlands. According to Svenskt ortnamnslexikon the name of the locality means "narrow" [1] referring to its position at the bottleneck position between Norra Sundsjön and Södra Sundsjön.
According to Leonhard Fredrik Rääf the church in Sund was built in the 12th century. [2] This church is described by Rääf as having stone arches, however it burned down in arson in 1631 and was rebuilt shortly afterward. [2]
