Pålsboda kyrka is a modest twentieth-century parish church standing on a pine-covered ridge above the small community of Pålsboda in Örebro county. Built in the 1930s to serve a growing railway settlement, it now belongs to Sköllersta parish within Strängnäs diocese.



The church was built between 1934 and 1936 to designs by the architect Martin Westerberg, and consecrated in 1936. It forms part of a wider complex that also includes an angled parish building, with a larger parish hall added in 1979 and parish offices established nearby in the early 1990s.

The building is simple and traditional in style, with a whitewashed exterior pierced by round and pointed-arch window openings. A steep, tiled saddle roof covers a rectangular nave with a narrower, straight-ended chancel, and a porch is set into the western end of the nave, where the main entrance lies. Inside, the bright, uncomplicated interior is covered by a barrel-vaulted ceiling with a moulded cornice.

Standing apart from the church itself is a free-standing bell tower, clad in vertical, falu-red timber panelling and topped with a slender, downward-flared spire covered in slate—a distinctive local landmark visible from some distance across the surrounding pine woods.

Among the church's furnishings, the altarpiece was painted by Torsten Nordberg. An earlier harmonium was used for services before being replaced by the current pipe organ, built in 1949 by the Sundbyberg firm Åkerman & Lund; it is a pneumatic instrument with a modest but versatile specification typical of Swedish organ-building of its period.
