Båraryd Church is a church in Gislaved's congregation in the Diocese of Växjö, Sweden. The church is the congregation's largest church.
The earlier church was probably built during the 13th century in the shape of a stone Latin cross church with a choir. It is possible that this church has a predecessor, a smaller wooden church. When the medieval church was demolished, a wooden beam with the year 1107 carved was found. Through the course of the century the church became subject to renovation and expansion. In 1776 the church was expanded to double its size.[1] According to a drawing the church, apart from the Latin cross church building, consisted of a larger choir, sacristy, and a church porch. Since the church lacked towers the church bells were placed in a belfry.
