Bjuråkers kyrka is a parish church in the village of Bjuråker, in Hudiksvall Municipality, Gävleborg County, part of the Bjuråker-Norrbo parish within the Diocese of Uppsala. It stands on the site of earlier medieval church buildings.



The present stone church was consecrated in October 1750, replacing a medieval predecessor that dated back to at least the 1300s and had at some point been given brick vaulting. By the 1700s the local population had grown too large for the old building, prompting the construction of the larger church seen today.

A century after its consecration, in the mid-1800s, the church underwent alterations, including the replacement of the old pulpit with a new one made in 1854. The building came close to demolition at one stage, but a restoration in 1934 secured its future, when new windows were fitted. A further restoration in 1966 saw the vaults and walls whitewashed.

Inside, the altarpiece was painted in 1852 by Albert Blombergsson. A notable survival from an earlier age is a wooden sculpture in the chancel depicting Saint George on horseback alongside a praying princess, thought to have been carved by Haaken Gulleson in the early 1500s; the lance and dragon that would once have completed the scene are now missing.

The church's organ has a layered history: an instrument built in 1733 by the noted Stockholm organ builder Johan Niclas Cahman was rebuilt in 1834, later acquired from Arbrå kyrka and installed here in the late 19th century. The current organ, built in 1934 by A. Magnussons Orgelbyggeri of Gothenburg, retains the facade of the earlier Cahman organ, offering visitors a visible link between the two instruments.
