Hälleforsnäs kyrka

The church is cold, and the chandeliers were moved to the parish church right next door, the organ has been dismantled. The church has had problems with moisture, it can be seen on the walls. The exterior has been repaired, at the same time as the church has been painted. Hälleforsnäs church partly resembles a traditional church with its black and white exterior, brutal gutters and all-white windows to a much greater extent than Olivegren's other churches. I don't think any of the others he designed are located together with a cemetery. The interior is cold, almost cold. Part of this is of course due to the church being mothballed, but also to the lack of decorative windows and very sparse interior decoration. My first impression when I entered the church hall and looked towards the altar was peace. Everything was so stripped down that it was bare, the ceramic cross and the altar against a large white background, which met you, but then it became too empty. I think the lack of chandeliers, which would have broken the perspectives in the ceilings, ruined a lot. In its current state, it left us with a heavy and sad feeling.
