Hälleforsnäs kyrka is a modest 20th-century parish church in Hälleforsnäs, Södermanland, part of Mellösa parish within the Diocese of Strängnäs. It is a comparatively young building, reflecting the mid-century industrial community it serves, and today hosts only occasional services.



The church was built in 1965 to designs by the architect Johannes Olivegren and was consecrated on 13 March 1966. Its construction places it firmly among Sweden's mid-twentieth-century parish churches, built in concrete rather than the stone or timber of older rural churches.

The interior is simple and light, dominated by white wall surfaces and pale-painted wood, giving the space a clean, understated character typical of the period's ecclesiastical design.

Above the altar hangs a ceramic panel created by the artist couple Ralph Bergholz and Randi Fischer, providing the church's principal decorative focal point.

The two church bells were cast locally at Hellefors Bruk by Bror Larsson, assisted by an apprentice, Leif Åhlund, tying the building to the industrial heritage of the surrounding community from which the settlement takes its name.

According to one visitor source, the church today is used only a handful of times a year, chiefly for occasional concerts, services, and a couple of midnight masses; this reflects current practice rather than the church's historical role.
