Hällabrottets kyrka is a wooden church in the village of Hällabrottet, in the Kumla parish of Strängnäs diocese. Designed by architect Rolf Bergh, it belongs to a series of prefabricated, relocatable churches built with a similar appearance.



This modest timber church has an unusual history of movement. It was originally built in Kumla in 1969, intended as a temporary parish church while Kumla's own church was being rebuilt following a fire in 1968. Once that work was complete, the wooden building was no longer needed on its original site.

In 1973 the church was dismantled and moved to Hällabrottet, where it was reconsecrated on Whit Monday 1974. Its bell tower, dating from 1968, had also originally stood at Kumla before being re-erected alongside the church at its new home.

Architecturally, the church is square in plan beneath a pyramid-shaped roof, with a narrow band of windows running just below the roofline — a simple, functional design typical of this type of prefabricated "wandering church". In 1986 an extension was added, providing a new entrance, sacristy, meeting hall, kitchen and rooms for children's and youth activities.

The church has also seen changes to its organ. An instrument built in 1967 was moved here from Tysslinge church in 1971, but was itself relocated again in 1979 to Hallsbergs Missionskyrka. The current mechanical organ, installed in 1979, was built by the Frederiksborg Orgelbyggeri workshop in Hillerød, Denmark.
