Tåsjö kyrka is a wooden parish church in Kyrktåsjö, in Strömsunds kommun, Jämtland, belonging to the Church of Sweden's Härnösand diocese. Built in the 1870s, it stands a few kilometres from the site of an earlier chapel and is notable for its distinctive organ.



An earlier chapel had stood by Lake Tåsjön from 1762, with a tower added around 1800, before it was demolished in 1881. The present church was built between 1872 and 1878 to designs by the architect Emil Viktor Langlet, under master builder Olof Andersson, and was consecrated in August 1879. It takes the form of a three-aisled basilica with a broad, short nave, a two-storey sacristy to the east, and a west tower crowned by an octagonal lantern. Porches on the long sides were removed during alterations carried out in 1957 under Nils Grafström.

The pulpit is thought to date from around the time of the earlier chapel, and is recorded as having been painted in 1815 by Mårten Olofsson of Hallen, though this attribution is not fully certain.

The church's most distinctive feature is its organ, built in 2001 by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri. Rather than a conventional new instrument, it is a careful reconstruction of the organ built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1890 for Jesuskirken in Copenhagen. To match the original as closely as possible, the builders copied selected pipes from the Copenhagen instrument, fitted the copies temporarily in place of the originals, and had them voiced to blend with the surrounding pipework before using these newly voiced copies as patterns for the rest of the organ. A further replica was later built for Vist church in Östergötland, which helped offset the additional cost of this unusual method. The church tower's carillon was inaugurated in 2002.
