Hamburgsunds kyrka: Church in Kville parish



The church was built in wood to designs by master builder Axel Johansson and was consecrated in 1915. Responsibility for the construction lay with a building association, which in 1963 transferred the church to Kville parish. The church consists of a nave with a tower to the south-west and a five-sided chancel to the north-east. The sacristy is located north-east of the chancel and is separated from it by a screen wall. The nave has a saddle roof covered with red clay tile. The chancel has a lower hipped roof covered with green-painted sheet iron. The tower's roof is covered with copper sheeting.

An extensive renovation was carried out in 1955, during which the church was, among other things, heat-insulated.

The organ was inaugurated on 3 September 1977 by Dean Per-Olof Sjögren. It was built by Västbo Orgelbyggeri and replaced a harmonium organ.

The font is octagonal, made of wood, and was acquired in 1917. The font is painted grey and has gilded details.

The pulpit is located north of the chancel opening, with a stairway and an octagonal basket.

A church bell, cast in Stockholm in 1922, hangs in the tower.
