Årstad kyrka: Årstad Church is located in Susedalen Parish, which in turn forms part of Falkenberg Pastorate.



The present church was built in 1888-1890 on the foundation of the old church, to designs in the Neo-Gothic style by the architect Claes Grundström. The building has unrendered façades of roughly hewn granite ashlar, and the walls are supported by buttresses. The walls are pierced by pointed-arch window openings. The chancel is of equal height with the nave and has a semicircular termination. The tower to the west is tall and narrow, adorned with pinnacles and a spire.

The interior has brick-laid groin vaults and three galleries. Originally the church had three large painted windows in the chancel. At first the colour scheme was in blue and purple, while the woodwork was painted brown. During a thorough renovation in 1912 the interior was repainted in white and gold. An extensive renovation that toned down the Neo-Gothic character was carried out in 1959. The stained-glass windows of the chancel were replaced with tinted panes in frames, and the south gallery was removed. The current light colour scheme dates from that time.
