Sågmyra kyrka is a twentieth-century timber church serving Bjursås församling in Dalarna, part of the Church of Sweden's Västerås diocese. Standing in the small settlement of Sågmyra, it offers a straightforward example of modern Swedish rural church building.



The church was built in 1970 to designs by the architect Lars Ridderstedt and was consecrated in April of that year. Its construction reflects a traditional regional technique, with a log-built (liggtimmer) structure beneath a sheet-metal-clad gabled roof.

A separate bell tower stands to the east of the church, finished with the dark red timber panelling (faluröd) characteristic of Dalarna's vernacular buildings, offering a visual link to older wooden churches and farm structures in the surrounding countryside despite the building's relatively recent date.

Near the church is an ash grave plot (askgravplats), a modern form of burial area providing a communal space for interment of ashes.

The church organ dates from the same year as the building, 1970, and was constructed by Robert Gustavsson Orgelbyggeri AB of Härnösand — a modestly scaled instrument in keeping with the church's unpretentious character.
