Örgryte New Church

The red brick structure rises 60 meters high with a cross-shaped layout, featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and pentagonal chancels in traditional Gothic style.

Construction of the church began in 1888 after the growing congregation needed more space than their previous 400-seat building, leading to its completion in 1890.

The church houses two distinct organs, including a Northern German Baroque instrument with 4,000 pipes tuned in quarter-comma meantone, reflecting musical traditions.

The building accommodates over 1,000 people and maintains regular religious services while offering tours of its architectural features throughout the year.

The structure incorporates red Börringe Brick from Skåne region with stone moldings and detailed Tegel ornamentation across its exterior surfaces.
