Rebuilt by the parish after the 1869 fire

Lindesberg Church is a church building in Lindesberg in the Västerås diocese. While the central nave dates back to the 1300s, the structure today is the result of a reconstruction following a city fire in 1869. The current appearance of the church stems almost entirely from this reconstruction, which was completed in 1872.

After the 1869 fire, a motion by MPs Richard Ehrenborg and Olof Nordenfeldt for a state loan to rebuild the church and public buildings was denied by the Parliament. At a church meeting on 23 April 1870, the Berg and Stad parishioners decided to start the complete reconstruction themselves. They contracted with the master builder and architect Carl Lundmark from Örebro.

The architecture reflects various layers of history. The pulpit was made by Heldenstedt in Örebro and was added during the 1870 - 1872 reconstruction. Stained glass windows by Gunnar Torhamn were made between 1929 and 1932, while a renovation in 1920 - 1922 added a saddle roof and a high tower spire.

Interior details include a plaster baptismal font from 1891 by Oskar Borg and a baptismal font of Gotlandic limestone from a 1976 - 1977 renovation. The current organ was built in 1979 by John Grönvall Orgelbyggeri in Lilla Edet, featuring mechanical tracker and electric registration.
