Hakarps kyrka is a pink, cruciform stone church built in 1694. Visit Sweden describes it as a church worth seeing. The stone church incorporates two earlier churches, giving the building a history that spans several centuries.

The earliest of the two was a stave church, erected in the middle of the 12th century. A wood church was built about 1283. The pink stone church came later, in 1694. These dates place the stave church first, the wood church second and the stone church third in the sequence described. The earlier buildings are identified as incorporated within the stone church.

Wikidata records Hakarps kyrka as heritage listed and gives 1694 as its founding or opening date. The documented features for visitors are its pink colour, cruciform plan and the incorporation of the two earlier churches. The church is listed as an attraction in Jönköping, at Stensholmsvägen 40 in Huskvarna.
