Husby-Rekarne Church, Medieval Lutheran church in Eskilstuna Municipality, Sweden.

Husby-Rekarne Church is a Romanesque church built in the 12th century, located by county road 214 between Skogstorp and Hållsta. It has a sacristy with a brick vault added north of the choir in the 14th or 15th century, a 15th-century porch on the south side, and a burial chapel from 1643 south of the choir. The church was extended west in 1738–1739 and a new tower replaced the medieval one. Nearby are an 18th-century parish hall and a 19th-century church stable.

The church was built in Romanesque style in the 12th century. A sacristy with brick vaults was added north of the choir in the 14th or 15th century, and a porch on the south side in the 15th century. A burial chapel south of the choir followed in 1643, and in 1738–1739 the church was extended westwards and a new tower replaced the medieval one.

The church's two bells carry their own history: the large bell was cast in the 16th century and bears a Marian inscription, while the small bell was cast in 1746 from two cracked bells. The pulpit was made in the 17th century by Mikael Rechners workshop.

The church stands by county road 214 between Skogstorp and Hållsta. Nearby are a parish hall from the 1700s and a church stable from the 1800s. The churchyard and these outbuildings can be explored on foot; the interior is worth entering to see the vaulted ceiling and the pulpit from Mikael Rechners workshop.
