Toltorpskyrkan is a small timber church in the Toltorpsdalen valley in Mölndal, near Gothenburg. Built in the 1920s classicism style, it began life as a Mission chapel before passing to the Church of Sweden, and remains a modest but distinctive local place of worship.



The white-painted timber chapel was designed by the building engineer Nils Karlsson in a restrained 1920s classicist style. Sources differ slightly on the completion date, giving either 1931 or 1933, but agree the building was erected in that period, with a ridge turret and decorative surrounds to its round windows and entrance.

The building was originally constructed for the Swedish Mission Covenant Church (Svenska Missionsförbundet), and it is recorded that it contained a large assembly hall, a smaller hall, and a caretaker's flat upstairs. The Church of Sweden acquired the chapel in 1962, after which it became the parish church for the Toltorpsdalen area, part of Fässbergs församling in the Diocese of Gothenburg.

Inside, the church has plain white walls and tall windows reaching almost to the ceiling, with a recessed, darker-painted upper section. The altar stands against the end wall, and the roof is hipped and slate-clad. The crucifix and font were brought from Fässberg Church.

The mechanical organ, built in 1969 by the organ builder Anders Persson, has eight stops across manual and pedal.

With seating for around 80, Toltorpskyrkan is a modest, intimate building sometimes used for weddings and baptisms, alongside a small adjoining function room with a kitchen.
