Solbergs kyrka is a wooden parish church in the village of Solberg, in Örnsköldsvik municipality, Västernorrland. Built between 1915 and 1917, it serves Anundsjö parish within the Diocese of Härnösand and stands on high ground on land made available by the Mo och Domsjö company.



The church was designed by the architect Otar Hökerberg and built by master builder A. Johansson of Gullänget, making it the first church on this site. It was consecrated in September 1918 by Bishop Ernst Lönegren.

The building consists of a single-aisled nave some thirty-seven metres long, with a lower extension at the eastern end housing the chancel and vestry, and a low tower at the west end whose buttresses form the walls of the porch. A striking feature is the huge tiled saddle roof, which sweeps down almost to the ground. The exterior was panelled and painted red in 1924, but has since been treated with tar again, giving it a darker, more traditional wooden finish.

Inside, the church is a single large hall with a narrow, deep chancel and an open roof truss; the cross-section is triangular. The interior is deliberately plain, with oiled timber walls left largely undecorated, though the pews and pulpit carry painted decoration in blue and green. The church has not undergone major restoration, though it was renovated in 1952.

Several furnishings date from the early twentieth century. The wooden font was made in Flen in 1922, and its brass basin carries a biblical inscription referring to the words "let the children come to me" from the Gospel of Mark. Vine motifs were painted in the chancel by Yngve Lundström, and the wooden chandeliers, also from 1922, were designed to hold only live candles. A new altarpiece by the sculptor Holger Persson of Sollefteå was added in 1952, and a church bell cast by the Bergholtz foundry was installed in 1920, replacing an earlier metal triangle and hammer used to call worshippers.
