Hagalunds kyrka is a parish church in the Hagalund district of Solna, just outside Stockholm. Consecrated in 1906, it was designed by architect Sigge Cronstedt in the Art Nouveau style and is best known for its plaster altar relief by sculptor Carl Eldh.



The church was built between 1904 and 1905 for the parish, with the foundation stone laid in October 1904 by Archbishop Johan August Ekman. It was consecrated by the archbishop on 25 February 1906. Constructed of brick in the Art Nouveau idiom fashionable at the time, the building has a narrower chancel and a round tower set beside it, giving the exterior a distinctive asymmetrical silhouette.

The interior has changed considerably since the church was first built. A 1937 renovation, led by architect Einar Lundberg, transformed the original open roof construction into a functionalist-style interior, adding insulation and a white-plastered wooden barrel vault. The church reopened that November under Archbishop Erling Eidem. A further renovation followed in 1965 under architect Hans Thunell, when the chancel was redecorated with a pale blue textile-covered wall finish; the church was reconsecrated by Bishop Helge Ljungberg in December of that year.

The altar relief, depicting the Resurrection of Christ, was created by sculptor Carl Eldh and remains one of the church's most notable furnishings. Hans Thunell, architect of the 1965 renovation, also designed the altar, chandeliers and pulpit. The octagonal pine font and its silver basin date from the same period, the work of artist Ulf Axén and silversmith Jan Lundgren, who also crafted the silver altar cross and communion silver.

The church's pipe organ, installed in 1979 by Jacoby Orgelverkstad, replaced two earlier instruments built in 1937 and enlarged in 1965. Two bells hang in the tower: an older one cast in 1905 and a second added in 1965.
