Hyltebruks kyrka is the parish church of Färgaryds församling, standing in the centre of the small town of Hyltebruk in western Småland, Hallands län. Consecrated in 1924, it remains a notable example of early twentieth-century Swedish church architecture.



The church was built in 1924 to designs by the architect Paul Boberg. It is constructed of brick, rendered with unpainted mortar, giving the exterior a plain, pale finish typical of churches of this period. The plan consists of a nave with an eastern chancel and a tower with the main entrance to the west, with a later sacristy added north of the chancel. The roofs of both the nave and the tower are clad in copper, a detail that has weathered to give the building its familiar green-grey silhouette.

Inside, the walls and flat ceiling are plastered, and a central aisle leads between fixed pews towards an altar set within a separate chancel apse. The altarpiece, painted in 1924 by Edvin Ollers, dates from the same period as the building itself and forms one of its principal decorative features. A font was donated to the church in 1944.

Among the church's furnishings is a nativity scene with figures said to originate from Oberammergau in Germany, a detail that adds an unusual international note to the otherwise locally rooted building.

The church has two organs. The main organ, on the gallery, was built in 1950 by A. Magnussons Orgelbyggeri of Gothenburg and is a pneumatic instrument with both free and fixed combinations. A smaller mechanical chamber organ stands in the chancel, built in 1978 by Ingvar Johansson of Västbo Orgelbyggeri in Långaryd.
