Norrbo kyrka is a parish church in the Bjuråker-Norrbo area of Gävleborg, Sweden, serving the small settlement of Norrbo within the Diocese of Uppsala. This modest countryside church retains several older furnishings alongside its Gustavian-era building.



The present church was built between 1795 and 1799 in the Gustavian style, to designs by the architect Johan Christoffer Loëll. It replaced an earlier church on the site. The building has a stone structure comprising a nave with a straight-ended chancel to the east, and a tower positioned centrally on the north side of the nave, within which the sacristy is housed on the ground floor.

Both the exterior and interior walls are whitewashed, giving the church a clean, simple appearance typical of the period. The chancel is decorated with painted decoration on its walls and vaulted ceiling, offering a point of visual interest within an otherwise restrained interior.

The altarpiece was painted in 1841 by Albert Blombergsson. Perhaps the most distinctive survivals are six medieval wooden sculptures displayed on the walls of the church; these are older than the current building and were carried over from the previous church that stood on the site, offering visitors a tangible link to the parish's earlier history.

The church's organ has an interesting layered history. An earlier instrument with ten stops was built in 1862 by Pehr Hedström of Norrala. The current organ dates from 1955, built by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund, though it retains the sounding facade pipes from the 1862 instrument, blending old and new within the same case.
