The Church of Götlunda lies in the Swedish municipality of Skövde about 20 kilometers north of Skövde .

The church was built in the 12th century. After a fire in 1670, a three-sided choir was added to the east and the collapsed tower was replaced by a wooden tower. The ceiling paintings date from 1732.

The church is known for its church door with Romanesque blacksmith work and a runic inscription that names Master Amund or Anund as the master blacksmith. The church door is owned by the Provincial Museum in Skara.
