Hertings kyrka is a modern parish church in the Herting district of Falkenberg, on the southern bank of the River Ätran. Built in 1971–1972 to designs by architect Roland Hübel, it was consecrated on 21 June 1972 by Bishop Bertil Gärtner to serve the town's expanding suburbs.



The church was designed to serve a growing population on the edge of Falkenberg, and its plain, functional brick form is typical of Swedish church architecture of the early 1970s. It consists of a rectangular single-nave building with an extended porch to the west, through which visitors enter. The eastern end is divided into a narrower chancel flanked by two small side rooms.

Inside, the walls are of exposed facade brick, and the ceiling is carried on glued timber beams above a floor of brown limestone. On the altar wall a cross formed from twelve purple glass cubes is set directly into the brickwork, a simple but striking focal point. A folding wall on the south side of the nave can be opened to connect the church interior with an adjoining confirmation hall, allowing the seating capacity to be increased when needed.

Externally, the building has a distinctive tent-like roof form, with slopes covered in brown concrete tile and rendered brick gables — a silhouette that marks it out among Sweden's churches of this period.

Among the furnishings, the font is built of brown glazed brick with a copper basin, and the altarpiece on the east wall of the chancel is made of ceramic and laminated pine, depicting the Last Supper. The pulpit takes the form of an ambo in clear-lacquered pine. A freestanding bell tower on a concrete base stands on the lawn north of the church; it was consecrated in 1973 and holds a bell cast at the Ohlsson foundry in Ystad. The original 1975 organ, built by Anders Persson of Helsingborg, was replaced by a digital instrument in 2008.
