Iggesunds kyrka is a wooden church in the community of Iggesund, in Gävleborg County, forming part of Enånger-Njutångers församling within the Church of Sweden's Uppsala stift. Though modest in appearance, its history reflects a practical, community-shaped origin rather than a purpose-built place of worship.



The building was originally erected in 1903 not as a church but as a multi-purpose community hall, used for cinema screenings, meetings and gatherings as well as occasional services. It was only in 1931, following a restoration, that the building was formally consecrated as a church. A further restoration took place in 1976.

The church has a rectangular plan with a narrower, polygonal chancel. Internally, the walls and ceiling are whitewashed. The interior has changed shape more than once: the original wagon-vaulted ceiling was reworked in 1931, when the space was divided into three aisles, the side aisles given flat ceilings and the nave a narrower wagon vault. The 1976 restoration replaced the nave ceiling again, this time with a barrel vault.

Among the church's furnishings is a wooden triumphal crucifix carved in 1978 by Per Nilsson-Öst of Järvsö, a notable regional woodcarver.

The church's first organ was built in 1931 by Olof Hammarberg of Gothenburg and later enlarged, but it was moved to Iggesund's Betelkyrkan in 1969. The current mechanical organ, built the same year by Walter Thür Orgelbyggen of Torshälla, remains in use in the church today.
