Flemingsbergs kyrka stands in Flemingsberg centre, close to the hospital, in the Huddinge district south of Stockholm. Built in the mid-1970s, it is a modern parish church notable for the varied artworks and craftsmanship gathered within its brick walls.



The church was constructed in 1975-1976 to a design by architect Gunnar Cedervall and was consecrated by Bishop Ingmar Ström in August 1976. It is built of brown brick and, unusually, shares its building with the parish offices, reflecting its role as a modern multi-purpose community church. It is intended for ecumenical use and includes a baptismal pool. A freestanding bell tower stands just outside the main entrance, housing a bell cast at the Bergholtz foundry in Sigtuna and bearing a devotional inscription.

Inside, the altarpiece is a carved pine relief by Per Nilsson-Öst depicting a scene from the Gospel of John in which the risen Christ appears to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, shown hauling in an overflowing catch of fish while Christ stands on the shore surrounded by rays of sunrise.

A striking five-metre tapestry by Kerstin Ekengren, showing people of different nations and faiths gathered around a tree-shaped cross, reflects the anxieties of the Cold War period in which it was made. Other notable furnishings include a terracotta statue by sculptor Lena Lervik, a mosaic on the theme of faith, hope and love by Sven Dahlin (originally made for a former youth chapel before being moved here), and a cast-iron font with a ceramic bowl. More recent additions include a set of icons painted on tarpaulin by the priest and artist Mats Hermansson.

The silver liturgical vessels, including candlesticks, a crucifix, chalice and paten, were made by Stockholm silversmiths Rolf Karlsson and Martin Öhman; the chalice's base is said to echo the shape of the church's own bell tower. The organ, built in 1979 by Walter Thür Orgelbyggen and later enlarged in 2013 by Martin Hausner, is a mechanical instrument of note to visitors interested in church music.
