Krokslättskyrkan is a modest brick church in Mölndal, Sweden, built in 1955 to designs by architect Walter Holmén. Originally constructed as a parish hall, it stands at the foot of Safjället and is now used only occasionally for services.



The church was designed by architect Walter Holmén and completed in 1955, though it began life as a parish hall rather than a purpose-built church. It belongs to Fässberg parish in the Diocese of Gothenburg.

The building has a simple brick structure, consisting of a single nave without a clearly defined chancel. Its saddle roof is covered with single-curved (enkupigt) tiles, and the exterior walls are of red brick. A separate timber bell tower, added in 1958, stands just north of the church.

Inside, the fittings are plain and unassuming: a font resting on a carved wooden base, and a simple altar of red-painted wood. The altarpiece consists of a plain wooden crucifix flanked by two woven textiles depicting sea motifs, a modest but distinctive decorative touch.

The church has a small mechanical organ built in the 1950s by the Gothenburg firm A. Magnusson Orgelbyggeri, with four stops.

According to one source, the church is used only rarely for services today, reportedly owing to poor accessibility of the building; this claim could not be independently confirmed and current usage may differ.
