Kvikkjokks kyrka

The site's religious use dates back to the 1650s, when silver ore was discovered nearby and a smelting works, Luleå silververk, was established at Kvikkjokk in 1661. Worship initially took place in part of the mining master's own house before a proper chapel was built in 1764; that chapel was demolished in the early twentieth century.

The present church was built in 1906 by master builder Gottfrid Svensson of Luleå, to designs by architect Fritz Eckert approved in 1899, and was consecrated in July 1907. It is a long hall church with a narrower, lower chancel to the east, a porch to the west, and a sacristy added at the chancel on the north side. Built of hewn log timber, it is clad externally with wooden shingles and lined internally with panelling, the walls painted with a mixture of red ochre and tar, giving it a traditional Swedish rural appearance.

Inside, the open pews sit beneath a triangular panelled ceiling with partly exposed roof trusses, and the round-arched windows are grouped in threes with turned colonnettes echoing the design of Sweden's medieval stave churches. A rose window above the altar was bricked up in 1926, and in 1936 iron tie-rods were fitted across the nave after the outer walls began to lean outward, an early sign of structural strain in the timber building.

The church underwent significant changes in 1950–51 on the recommendation of Seth Fridén, when the exterior doors were replaced and the altar moved forward; the old 1764 pulpit was restored and reinstated at this time. A further restoration in 1961 saw the interior repainted in lighter colours, a marked departure from Eckert's original scheme, and reportedly a subject of some debate given how different it was from his intentions.

Several furnishings recall the earlier chapel: the pulpit and font both date from 1764, as does a corner cabinet and an altar cloth embroidered with pewter thread, formerly kept in the old building. The altar cabinet was designed in 1925 by Torben Grut, with a painting by Gerda Höglund. Beside the church stands a separate bell tower, also designed by Eckert, a timber-framed structure with a crossed saddle roof and a spire, typical of church bell housings in this part of northern Sweden.
