Skogslyckans kyrka

The building began life in 1943 as a chapel and crematorium on the newly laid-out Skogskyrkogården (forest cemetery), designed by the Växjö architect Adolf Wiman in a Nordic Classicist style. It was consecrated by Bishop Yngve Brilioth on 6 June 1943. The original structure was a north–south oriented hall with a chancel apse to the north, a small bell turret to the south, and open arcades running along each side of the nave.

As Växjö's population grew, a proper church was needed in the northern part of the city, and in 1966 the chapel was enlarged and converted under the direction of architect Hans Lindén. The old arcades were rebuilt into side aisles fitted with coloured glass windows, and the roof was lowered. The church was reconsecrated by Bishop David Lindquist on 21 December 1966.

The chancel's original glass painting by artist Simon Gate, depicting Christ as comforter, was retained but built in behind a large new mosaic by David Ralson, taking its theme from the parable of the prodigal son's return in Luke's gospel. The interior is otherwise strongly marked by artistic glasswork from Lindshammar glassworks, including the altar and font, both made of glass, along with other fittings from the 1966 remodelling.

Other notable furnishings include a wooden relief near the font on the theme of children being welcomed, a woven chancel carpet, and wrought-iron candle fittings, reflecting the church's mid-twentieth-century decorative character.

The church's organ history reflects several stages of change: an instrument originally built in 1894 for Uråsa kyrka was moved to Skogslyckan in 1955, before being rebuilt mechanically in 1966 while retaining its older façade. A further organ with nineteen stops was added in 1990.
