Halvorskyrkan is a parish church in the Halvorstorp district east of Trollhättan's centre, in Västra Götaland. Built in the twentieth century and belonging to Gärdhems församling in the Diocese of Skara, it serves today as a lively local hub for worship and community life.



The church was consecrated in 1975 to serve the then-developing residential area of Halvorstorp. As a building of this period, it reflects the functional, community-oriented church architecture common in Swedish parishes constructed during the postwar expansion of towns like Trollhättan, though no specific architectural details have been recorded here.

Alongside the church stands Halvorsgården, a parish building added in 2005, which extended the site's role as a gathering place for the congregation.

In August 2007 the church reopened after significant rebuilding work, though the precise scope and purpose of these alterations are not detailed in the sources available.

Today the church and adjoining Halvorsgården host a range of everyday parish activities, including waffle cafés, café evenings and children's groups, as well as open house gatherings with refreshments for retired or non-working visitors. Confirmation groups and the church choir, Halvorskören, are also based here, giving the site a continued sense of community use rather than being simply a historic monument.
