Lillhärdal Church (Lillhärdals kyrka) is associated with Svegsbygden parish in the Diocese of Härnösand. It is a wooden church building which was first built in 1407. An extension was made in 1770–1771. The church was originally equipped with rococo decor, including an altarpiece and pulpit from 1774. A wooden church tower was built in 1805.
