Frösö Kyrka (Church) on the island of Frösön, Östersund, Jämtland, northern Sweden.

---

The wood shingle clad, Baroque onion shaped wooden bell tower was built in 1754 and is in typical Norrland style. It contains the 14th century Birgitta bell and a smaller one from the 18th century. Saint Birgitta is said to have stopped here on her pilgrimage to Trondheim, Norway. The church was founded circa 1200, but 19th century fires destroyed much of it. Composer Wilhelm Peterson Berger is buried here.
