Råsunda kyrka is a twentieth-century parish church standing on a rocky rise in Näckrosparken, Solna. Built of red brick and consecrated in 1968, it now serves as a district church within Solna parish, having previously been the church of its own Råsunda parish until 2007.



The church was designed by architect Georg Scherman, with construction beginning in 1966 and the building consecrated on 21 April 1968 by Bishop Helge Ljungberg. It stands on an east-west axis, with the chancel to the east and the entrance to the west. Because the site slopes, the church is built in a semi-basement, with parish rooms beneath the main hall accessible from the south side.

The roof is a notable feature: a self-supporting structure in whitewashed timber, its form recalling the tent-like roof of the Old Testament tabernacle. Triangular clear-glass windows set above the eaves let light into the interior, supplementing the windows on all four sides of the building.

Inside, the altar, font and pulpit are carved from substantial blocks of warm white Ekensberg marble, following the architect's own designs. Their arrangement in the chancel forms a triangle. The church also contains glass artwork by Erik Höglund of Boda, a designer known for his work in Swedish glass and metalwork.

A free-standing concrete bell tower, some 22 metres high, stands at the south-west side of the church. It is topped by a gilded weathercock, also designed by Erik Höglund, traditionally symbolising watchfulness. Three bells cast in 1967 by the Bergholtz foundry hang within the tower, named Faith, Hope and Love. Between the tower and the church's west entrance lies a grassed forecourt paved with patterned concrete, known locally as "God's green meadows".

The mechanical organ, built in 1968 by Åkerman & Lund of Knivsta, has 18 stops across two manuals and pedal.
