Kronoparkskyrkan is a modern church in Karlstad, built in 1980 to designs by the architect Janne Feldt. It forms part of a larger centre building that also houses a district library, reflecting its role at the heart of community life on the Kronoparken estate.



The building was designed as a functional, multi-purpose complex rather than a traditional standalone church. Alongside the worship space, it incorporates a parish hall, a café area described as a 'church square', and rooms dedicated to children's and youth activities. The exterior and interior walls are built of facing brick, brownish-red in tone, while the upper wall surfaces and ceiling are formed from diagonally set wood panelling.

The main church room is rectangular, notably wider than it is deep, and has no raised chancel, giving it an open, informal character. Natural light enters through large glazed sections in the walls, and a shifted roof ridge with a horizontal window band allows additional overhead light into the interior, a practical touch typical of Scandinavian church architecture of the period.

A free-standing wooden bell tower stands apart from the main building. The bell itself carries an inscription by the author Georg Andersson, a short verse on the theme of fellowship and community, fitting for a church built as part of a shared civic and parish space.
