Envikens kyrka is a parish church in Rönndalen, in Falu kommun, Dalarna, serving Envikens församling within the Diocese of Västerås. Built in the mid-twentieth century, it stands on a hill overlooking open farmland, with views towards Klockarsjön.



The present church was built between 1956 and 1957, replacing an older church that had proved difficult to heat in winter, with congregations sometimes meeting in the local community hall instead. The design, by architect Sven Ahlbom, had actually been drawn up as early as 1933, and the building was constructed by Asplundsbyggnads AB of Örebro. Because it follows these 1930s plans, the church is protected under Swedish heritage legislation. The foundation stone work began in September 1956, and the church was consecrated by Bishop John Cullberg on 2 June 1957.

The building is in a simplified, medieval-inspired style, with white-rendered walls of rough lime-cement render over a brick structure resting on a concrete foundation faced with a granite plinth. A steep, slate-covered saddle roof covers the nave, with a porch under a hipped roof to the south-west. The tower, topped by a two-tiered slate dome, rises at the north-east corner rather than in a conventional west-front position.

Inside, a flat timber ceiling is carried on open beams, and a west gallery for the organ rests on dark blue concrete columns. A separate small gallery, known locally as the 'gapskulle', occupies the space within the tower walls on the north side. The chancel is raised three steps above the rest of the church and is marked off by a triumphal arch; its floor is limestone, while the nave floor is hard-fired brick set in cement.

The altarpiece and an altar cabinet were made by the sculptor Nils Aron Berge, and are considered of notable artistic quality within the interior. The organ, built by Olof Hammarberg of Gothenburg and inaugurated in October 1958, has a case designed in consultation with Ahlbom to complement the church's architecture.

A 1986 interior restoration saw joinery repaired and walls cleaned, and the tower's slate covering was renewed in 2003.
