Aspås kyrka is a parish church in the village of Aspås, in Krokoms kommun, Jämtland, serving Aspås församling within the Diocese of Härnösand. The present stone building dates from the 1840s, replacing an earlier medieval church on a different site.



The current church was built between 1840 and 1844, replacing a medieval predecessor that stood elsewhere in the parish. Sources differ slightly on the design credit: one account attributes the plans to the architect Fredrik Blom in a restrained neoclassical style, while another states that the builder Johan Anton Åkerlund of Härnösand made the drawings, with details later reworked by the architect Theodor Edberg at the Överintendentsämbetet (the royal office of buildings). Visitors may wish to treat the exact authorship as an open question rather than a settled fact.

The building follows a simple, orderly plan typical of the period: a rectangular nave with a straight-ended chancel to the east, a tower to the west, and a sacristy attached to the north side of the chancel. The overall impression is one of restrained neoclassicism, built of natural stone.

Inside, the pulpit dates from 1840 and was made by Salomon Hägglöf, shortly before the new church itself was completed. The font is carved from wood, its bowl surrounded by carved angel heads and its base decorated with vine ornament, a detail worth seeking out.

The organ was built in 1956, but its case, or facade, is older, taken from an earlier organ made in 1864. This gives the instrument a slightly layered history, combining a nineteenth-century exterior with mid-twentieth-century workings.
