About the church
Fellingsbro kyrka is a church building in the Diocese of Västerås. It is the parish church of Näsby-Fellingsbro parish.
The church is one of the largest rural churches in the country. At its largest it had seating for 1,236 people. The church was the centre of Åkerbo provostry, which comprised 17 parishes, namely: Fellingsbro, Medåker, Västra Skedvi, Himmeta, Bro, Malma, Odensvi, Köping, Kungs Barkarö, Björskog, Arboga, Lindesberg, Skinnskatteberg, Näsby, Ervalla, Ramsberg and Ljusnarsberg.
The provost, who was a canon (a member of the cathedral chapter), was responsible for ensuring that the tithe was delivered from the above-mentioned parishes. Fellingsbro pastorate was one of the richest in the country and was sought after by, among others, the poet Esaias Tegnér. It was a Crown living, that is, the priest was appointed by the Crown (Kungl. Maj:t) right up to the early 20th century.
