Hällby kyrka is a twentieth-century parish church at Hällbybrunn near Eskilstuna, serving Hällby församling with Tumbo and Råby-Rekarne. It stands within the Church of Sweden's Strängnäs diocese and offers a good example of a modest 1930s 'small church' design.



The church was built to designs by the architect Hugo Grefveberg and was consecrated on 6 December 1931. It belongs to a category known in Swedish church-building as a 'småkyrka', a smaller, economically built parish church typical of the interwar period. Notably, it was erected on the site of a prehistoric grave field, a reminder that the location had significance long before the church itself was built.

The building consists of a single nave running north to south, with walls of yellow-grey brick beneath a steep gabled roof covered in red tile. A porch containing the main entrance projects from the south side, giving the exterior a plain but carefully proportioned character typical of Grefveberg's work.

To the north of the church stands a free-standing timber bell tower, built in 1939, which holds two bells. Such detached bell towers are a familiar feature of Swedish rural and small-town churches of this era, often added a few years after the main building.

Inside, the pulpit is decorated with symbols representing the four evangelists, a traditional motif found in many Swedish churches of the period. The church's organ has an interesting history: an instrument with eight stops was built in 1942 by the Sundbyberg firm Åkerman & Lund, but the current mechanical organ, standing on the organ loft, dates from the mid-1970s and was made by the Torshälla firm Walter Thür Orgelbyggen.
