Ådals-Lidens kyrka is the parish church of Ådals-Lidens församling, standing at the heart of Näsåker in Sollefteå municipality, Västernorrland. This modest wooden church, built in the early nineteenth century, replaced earlier structures on a nearby medieval site.



The present church was built between 1817 and 1820 under master builder Eric Ersson, following designs by the architect Per Wilhelm Palmroth, and was consecrated in October 1820. It stands on a new site, a little south of where an earlier medieval stone church once stood; that older building was destroyed by fire during the seventeenth century and replaced by a wooden church without a tower, for which a separate bell tower was erected in 1784.

Architecturally, the church is simple and typical of its period: a rectangular nave with a chancel and sacristy to the east, covered by a saddle roof. A distinctive ridge turret on the eastern end of the roof houses the church bells, rather than a separate tower.

Among the furnishings, the carved pulpit dates from 1844, the work of Zackris Persson of Lidgatu with assistance from Nils Olof Nilsson-Nyhlén. The church also holds a font angel made in the same year, reworked from an older medieval wooden sculpture — a reminder of the continuity between the earlier medieval church on the site and the building that stands today.
