Färgaryds kyrka

The church was built in 1845–1846 in a neoclassical style, under the direction of master builder Petter Pettersson. Original designs had been drawn up in 1842 by Johan Carlberg of the Överintendentsämbetet, the royal office responsible for public buildings, but these were apparently not followed; it is said that Pettersson instead based the building on Åkers kyrka.

The church consists of a nave with a rounded chancel to the east and a tower with the main entrance to the west, along with a round sacristy added to the north of the chancel. The tower is topped with an open lantern typical of its period, crowned by a cross. Inside, the church has the character of a hall church with a barrel vault, and feels light and spacious. During a renovation in 1985 the interior was decorated in gold, soft pink and white, and the chancel ceiling was painted with symbols of the four evangelists by the artist Sven-Bertil Svensson of Öland.

The altarpiece, depicting the Descent from the Cross, was painted by Mårten Eskil Winge and installed in 1874; it is set within a frame of pilasters supporting an upper section decorated with a radiant sun motif. The font is carved from sandstone and dated to the 13th century, standing on a base made by Erik Nilsson of Harplinge. The pulpit, made by J. A. Andersson, was put in place in 1871 and has a five-sided body decorated with gilded symbols; the earlier pulpit of 1846 was moved to the tower chamber, where it remains.

The organ dates from the mid-1860s and was built by the Danish firm Marcussen & Søn of Aabenraa, with a neoclassical case; it is a mechanical instrument with shared wind chest and swell box for its two manuals.

In the churchyard stands a distinctive gravestone said to bear three heads, linked by local tradition to a love story from Sweden's Age of Greatness (the 17th century); the tale itself is not otherwise documented here.
