Barnarp Church (Swedish: Barnarps kyrka) is a church building at Barnarp in Jönköping County, Sweden. It belongs to the Barnarp Parish of the Diocese of Växjö in the Church of Sweden.[1]

The oldest part of the church dates to the 13th century. It was built in Romanesque architectural style. The current floor plan is in the shape of a Greek cross following the addition of the two transepts in 1686–87. The interior of the church dates to the late 17th century and the mid-18th century and is decorated in the Baroque style. In 1730, the wooden ceilings are illustrated with biblical scenes by the artist Johann Kinnerus (1705-1759). [2] [3]
