Tungelsta kyrka is a parish church in Tungelsta, part of Västerhaninge-Muskö parish in the Diocese of Stockholm. Consecrated in 1973, its tall, striking form gives visitors an almost cathedral-like impression despite its relatively modest scale.



The church was built of brown brick to designs by the architect Rolf Bergh, consecrated on 11 March 1973. It has a square plan with chamfered corners to the north and south, beneath a pitched roof, and the interior is oriented north-south with the altar and chancel set to the south.

A distinctive feature is the pair of oval mandorla windows, designed by Tore Bergh, set into the north and south walls. The southern window, filled with red roses in stained glass, is known as the Rose Window, while the northern window, coloured in blue and green, is called the Jordan Window.

Adjoining the north side of the church is a glass-walled baptismal chapel, crowned by a dome formed from six laminated timber arches. Its centrepiece is a striking baptismal pool with polished, heated concrete edges that can double as seating, fed by continuously warmed water flowing from a copper bowl set above a wooden font. South of the church stands a freestanding timber bell tower.

The altar, set beneath the Rose Window, and the rest of the church's fittings are made of laminated pine. The current organ was built in 1990 by Nye Orgelbyggeri, replacing an earlier instrument that had been moved here from the choir of Västerhaninge church, itself built in the 1960s by the German firm Klaus Becker Orgelbau.
