Själevad Church, Neoclassical church building in Själevad, Örnsköldsvik Municipality, Sweden

Själevad Church is a white, stuccoed hall church with a shallow gabled roof. Its front facade has four tall smooth columns on low bases supporting a triangular pediment, with a recessed dark double door and a round window above. A polygonal drum with arched windows rises from the roof, topped by a tall dark spire with a clock face.

The medieval stone church of St Olof, without a tower, stood slightly downstream until its demolition began on 29 May 1876 without prior permission; it was so solidly built that it had to be blasted. The new church was built from 1876 and consecrated on 12 September 1880 by Bishop Lars Landgren. The ceiling dome was added in a 1923 renovation.

The parish is known for its music programme, with several active choirs and concerts held in the church through the year. It is also a popular wedding church, and in 1998 readers of the magazine Året Runt named it Sweden's most beautiful church; in February 2020 it won the same title in a poll by the newspaper Dagens readers.

The church stands by the Moälven near Örnsköldsvik, with a view over the Själevadsfjärden and the river valley. It is a popular wedding church and hosts many concerts and several active choirs through the year, so check the parish's programme before planning a visit around a service.

The medieval predecessor, a plain rectangular stone church dedicated to St Olaf, stood slightly further downstream. Its interior walls carried paintings that were whitewashed over during an 18th-century repair. Demolition began on 29 May 1876 without permission, and the building proved so solid that it finally had to be blown up; the plan was kept secret until the last moment for fear of violent protests from parishioners.
