Dals kyrka is a stone church in Ångermanland whose origins are dated differently by different sources: one account places its construction in the 14th century, while another traces it to the mid-12th century, when it was dedicated to Saint Agneta. Its present tower dates from the late 19th century.



The church's building history spans several centuries. Window openings were enlarged in the mid-18th century, and in the early 19th century a wooden porch on the south side was removed, the church was lengthened westward, and a third star vault was added to the ceiling. A more thorough rebuilding took place around 1889-90, when a new west tower was added, a new chancel built on the east side, and the wooden sacristy replaced with one of stone.

Most of the furnishings visible today date from the 18th century, though the stone font is thought to survive from the church's earliest period and is carved from Gotland limestone. The pulpit was made in 1739 in Baroque style by Magnus Granlund; it was replaced during the 1890 rebuilding but reinstated after a restoration in 1936-37.

That same 1889-90 restoration proved controversial in retrospect: the older 18th-century interior fittings were removed and sold at auction, eventually reaching a county museum in Härnösand, while a new interior in the taste of the period was installed. The earlier furnishings were later recovered and restored to the church during the 1936-37 restoration, returning much of its historic character.

Above the altar on the eastern chancel wall hangs a crucifix attributed to an artist named Torham, said to have been donated by a parishioner; it is regarded as the church's principal devotional image. An organ built in 1928 by the Örebro firm E. A. Setterquist & Son, with twelve stops across two manuals, also serves the church.
