Nora kyrka is a parish church in Nora-Skogs församling, in the Härnösand diocese, standing in Kramfors parish in Ångermanland, Västernorrland. It occupies a site with a long ecclesiastical history, though the present building dates from the early nineteenth century.



A stone church was first built on this site in the thirteenth century, described in later accounts as small and dark, though no trace of that early building survives today. The current church was constructed between 1804 and 1806 under the direction of master builder Simon Geting, replacing its medieval predecessor entirely.

The building underwent restoration in 1858, during which the present altarpiece, pulpit and a pair of crystal chandeliers were introduced. Further restoration work took place in 1914 and again in 1979–1980, though details of these later changes are not extensively recorded here.

Among the church's most notable furnishings is its font, carved from Gotland sandstone and dating back to the 1200s — making it considerably older than the building that now houses it, and a direct physical link to the earlier medieval church on the site. Above the font hangs a chandelier of Bohemian crystal from the eighteenth century.

The sacristy holds a copy of Gustav Vasa's Bible from 1541, an early printed Swedish-language Bible associated with the Reformation era, offering visitors a tangible connection to a significant period in Swedish religious and cultural history.
