Föllinge kyrka, in Föllinge in Krokoms kommun, Jämtland, is the third church to stand on this site. Its history spans an early 17th-century church, a 19th-century successor lost to fire, and the present building consecrated in 1998.



The first known church here dated from the early 1600s and was extended between 1758 and 1761. It was replaced by a second, wooden church, completed in 1815, which was later lengthened and given a new tower in the 1880s. That building was restored in 1950, with further interior refurbishment carried out in 1978.

On 17 July 1994 this second church was completely destroyed by a fire that was deliberately started, according to reports from the time. The loss of a building with roots stretching back centuries marked a significant break in the parish's history.

A new church was erected on the same site during 1997 and 1998, deliberately designed with an exterior echoing the appearance of its predecessor, while the interior was built afresh. It was consecrated on 4 October 1998.

Inside, visitors can see a woven textile artwork by Kerstin Bränngård depicting the risen Christ, a distinctive modern feature set within the church's traditional-looking timber exterior.
