Hedared stave church, Medieval wooden church in Borås Municipality, Sweden

Hedared Stave Church is a small single-nave wooden church between Borås and Alingsås, built with convex oak planks held by vertical corner posts and sills. It has a nave and a small chancel with a straight east wall. The interior measures 35 square metres and retains its 18th-century fittings.

Dendrochronological analysis shows that the logs used for construction were cut between 1498 and 1503, placing the structure firmly in the late medieval period. This dating confirms its importance as a surviving example from the northern woodworking tradition of that era.

The paintings in the nave were made in 1735 by Johan Ehrenfrid in a rural Baroque style, not on the ceiling. The church also holds a wooden Madonna from the late 1200s or 1300s, a medieval wooden sculpture of Saint Francis, and an altar painting painted directly on the wall, likely from the early 1500s.

The building underwent major restoration in the 1990s, including raising the entire structure by 70 centimeters and replacing the flooring to ensure stability and preservation. Visitors should check opening times and conditions beforehand, as access may vary with the season.

In 1901 the church was restored to an original appearance, but the windows added in 1781 were kept. The museum association Kulturen in Lund wanted to buy the building and move it there; instead it bought Bosebo old church for its open-air museum.
