Gustaf Vasa Church, Baroque Revival church in Vasastaden, Sweden.

The brick church features a cruciform layout with three galleries overlooking the nave and a central dome reaching 60 meters above Odenplan square.

Architect Agi Lindegren completed this Lutheran church in 1906, naming it after Gustav I of Sweden who established Swedish independence from Denmark.

The main entrance portal contains artwork depicting Gustav Vasa receiving the Swedish Bible, while Latin inscriptions decorate the northern and southern entrances.

Located at Karlbergsvägen 5 near Odenplan transportation hub, the church holds 1,200 people for regular Lutheran services and community events.

The church houses Sweden's largest Baroque sculptural work, a 15-meter altarpiece created by Burchard Precht between 1728 and 1731.
