Gladhammar Church, Church in Västervik Municipality, Sweden

Gladhammar Church is a central-plan church built 1883–1886 to designs by architect Ernst Abraham Jacobsson, with builder Th. Rosvall from Hässleholm. Its frame and outer walls are brick, the interior is oriented north–south with the chancel to the north and the tower and porch to the south, and a sacristy is attached north of the chancel.

The building was constructed in 1886, replacing a medieval wooden church that had served the parish since the 15th century. In 1938, a chapel was built at the location of the former wooden structure to preserve the historical connection.

The parish of Gladhammar-Västrum worships in a church whose interior faces north-south, with the chancel to the north and the tower and porch to the south. The limestone font dates from 1677, and a 15th-century sculpture known as the "Nådastolen" (Throne of Grace) is kept here. The altarpiece is a copy of Thorvaldsen's Christ made in 1886 by Johannes Mölgaard.

Gladhammar Church stands in Gladhammar, in Västervik Municipality, not on Road E22. The church is an active parish church, so opening times vary with services and events. The 1938 chapel, a short walk southeast of the church, marks the site of the medieval wooden church.

The 1938 chapel was built at the exact location of the medieval predecessor, creating a visual bridge between two building eras. This arrangement shows how the congregation maintained its religious continuity through architectural symbols.
