Gällivare gamla kyrka

The wooden church building contains a 21-stop organ constructed in 1971 by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri and displays traditional Swedish religious architecture.

Established in 1747, the church served the local community through significant changes, including population growth that necessitated construction of a new building in 1882.

The church maintains Swedish religious traditions through regular ceremonies while integrating elements of northern Sweden's regional heritage within its architectural design.

Located at coordinates 67.131208, 20.652094, the church functions as part of Gällivare Parish under the Diocese of Luleå in northern Sweden.

The building preserves an historical hourglass on its pulpit, originally gifted by missionary Joan Zelberg to the previous church structure.
