Näsets kyrka is a mid-twentieth-century parish church in the Näset district of Gothenburg, built of white-painted roughcast brick with three crosses in relief on its eastern gable. The plain, light-filled interior seats around 142 people.
The church was built in 1966–67 to designs by architect Ville Berglund, who was himself a resident of Näset. It was consecrated by Bishop Bo Giertz; sources differ slightly on the exact date, giving either 1 November or 19 November 1967. Almost half of the building costs were reportedly covered by donations from the local community.
Architecturally, the church is a rectangular hall-church on a concrete foundation, with rough-cast whitewashed brick walls and a steep pitched roof originally covered in grey-black asbestos-cement shingles. Inside, the whitewashed brick walls are topped by a timber-panelled ceiling supported on laminated timber arches, with plain benches of unstained pine. The building was later extended, with parish rooms added in 1984 that partly connect to its north and south facades.
A free-standing concrete bell tower stands north of the entrance, holding two bells with an unusual history. The larger, cast in 1875, originally served Eggegrund lighthouse before being moved to Stora Pölsan lighthouse and eventually given to the church by the Swedish Maritime Administration; the smaller bell, cast in 1967, was a gift to the parish.
Inside, stained-glass windows either side of the chancel were made by Joël Mila and donated to the church in 1976. The font, altar and altar rail are of limed oak, and the font's silver bowl and jug were also donated gifts. The original pulpit was replaced in 1984 by a movable lectern, or ambo, and most of the textiles in the church were made by Agda Österberg.
The mechanical organ, built in 1973 by A. Magnusson Orgelbyggeri, has seven stops across two manuals and pedal — a modest but characteristic instrument for a parish church of this size and period.
