Bergnäskyrkan is a parish church in the Bergnäset district of Luleå, part of Nederluleå parish within the Church of Sweden. Built in the mid-1970s, it serves as one of several district churches in the town.



Bergnäskyrkan was consecrated in August 1976, making it a relatively modern addition to Luleå's churches. It stands on the Trolleberg site in the Bergnäset district, a residential area of the town.

The building reflects the architectural tastes of its decade, with a timber and brick frame and a brown brick facade beneath a felt-covered roof. It was designed by the architect Istvan Poroslay. The square interior continues the earthy palette of the exterior, with brown brick walls and a ceiling finished in natural-toned wooden panelling.

Inside, rows of joined chairs stand on a tiled floor, a practical and typical furnishing choice for churches of this period, allowing the space to be reconfigured for different uses. Above the altar, a distinctive right-angled glass extension brings light into the chancel area, forming the church's most memorable architectural feature.
