Lagmansereds kyrka is a parish church in Bjärke församling, in the south-eastern part of Trollhättan municipality in Västra Götaland county. It stands within the Diocese of Skara, on donated land, and replaced an earlier church destroyed by fire.



The original church at this site was destroyed by fire around 1929. The present building was constructed in 1935 to designs by architect Axel Forssén, and the surrounding churchyard was completed the same year. The exterior blends functionalist and traditionalist styles and is notably plain, without decorative detailing, while the cubic tower carries a distinctive spire.

The church is built of brick with whitewashed walls and a slate-covered saddle roof. Its plan is a simple nave with a straight, unrecessed chancel at the eastern end, matching the width of the rest of the building. A sacristy adjoins the chancel to the north, and a tower with the main entrance stands at the western end.

Inside, the fixed pew arrangement, central aisle and altar against the east wall remain as they were when the church was built, along with the original colour scheme. Among the furnishings, the font is medieval and was brought from the earlier church that burned down. The altarpiece was painted by Gunnar Erik Ström, and one of the choir pews was traditionally reserved for the owners of nearby Kobergs slott.

The organ, on a west gallery in the tower, dates from 1935 and was built by Olof Hammarberg with a pneumatic action of seven stops across manual and pedal; its case was designed by Axel Forssén.
