Hörkens kyrka

Before the church existed, services were held in the local schoolhouse from 1888. A donation in 1896 provided the founding sum for a new church, and by 1905 enough money had been raised for the parish to accept a design by the architect Rudolf Arborelius. Progress was slow: the foundations were not laid until 1915, and the First World War caused further delays before building work resumed around 1920 and was completed in 1924–1925.

Arborelius died in 1917, and some details of his design were later adjusted by Dag Melin, including the shape of the pews. The church was built by F. Adler and Alfred Nilsson from Bånghammar, and consecrated in December 1925 by Bishop Einar Billing.

The building has tarred, timbered walls with exposed corner joints, a shingle-clad roof, and a tower set to the south-west, partly timbered into the main structure. Doors and windows are painted green, while corner joints and other exterior woodwork are red. Inside, the walls are largely of bare hewn timber, with colour appearing mainly on the muted blue pews. The triumphal arch has a distinctive five-lobed cut-out shape, and much of the fixed furnishing—pulpit, chancel screen, altar rail, pews, and gallery front—was designed by Arborelius himself.

The altarpiece, depicting Christ with the four evangelists, is the work of Jerk Werkmäster, complemented by chancel window paintings created in the 1960s by Nils-Aron Berge and Folke Heybroek. Among the church's older furnishings is a collection box dating from 1759, kept near the south entrance, along with a wooden font from 1944 and an accompanying silver jug for baptismal water made by the silversmith Bo Samuelsson. Other notable items include a gilt bridal crown set with rock crystals, silver candelabra, and a seven-branched brass candlestick.

The church's textiles reflect decades of parish needlework: white festival textiles donated at the time of consecration were later joined by vestments in other liturgical colours, including green vestments from the Egino Foundation and red and violet sets by Märta Grahn. The chancel carpets, designed by Sigvard Bernadotte in 1948, are said to echo the wood anemones that bloom outside the church each spring. The church also has a small pipe organ of twelve stops, built in 1954 by A. Magnusson Orgelbyggeri.
