Enånger old church, Medieval stone church in Hudiksvall Municipality, Sweden.

Enånger old church is a rectangular stone church with a north-side sacristy, built of grey stone with brick blindings on the west gable. Its walls and star vaults carry 15th-century murals by the Alphabet Master, never whitewashed. The south-west portal is original, and the fixed furnishings date from the first half of the 18th century.

The present stone church took its form in the 15th century, with frescoes by the Tierp school dated 1485. When Enånger's new church opened in 1858, this building passed to the Hälsingland antiquarian society as a museum. It was cared for by the National Heritage Board from 1947 to 2014 and returned to worship in 1952; a 1951 floor replacement revealed the foundations of an earlier wooden church.

The church holds three 16th-century altarpieces by the sculptor Haaken Gulleson, one of them with Saint Rochus, and a wooden figure of Anna selbdritt dated 1520. The pulpit's sun symbol carries the Hebrew letters JHWH, the divine name read aloud as Jahve or Jehova. Services were held here again from 1952.

The church stands in Enånger, in Hudiksvall Municipality, and is cared for by the National Property Board (Statens fastighetsverk). It was returned to worship use in 1952 and is still used for services. A low stone wall with a black metal gate and a small sign fronts the churchyard; the entrance is through the south-west portal.

The pulpit's sun symbol carries the four Hebrew letters JHWH, the divine name read aloud as Yahweh or Jehovah. The pulpit itself was built in 1737 by two masters from Stockholm. In 1999 thieves stole the church's wooden figures of Saint Rochus and the archangel Michael; Michael was recovered on Tenerife in 2005, Rochus is still missing.
