Örgryte New Church, Gothic church building in Örgryte district, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Örgryte New Church is a church building with Gothic architecture in Gothenburg, distinguished by its red brick exterior and cross-shaped floor plan. The interior features pointed-arch windows, ribbed vaults, and houses two notable organs representing different musical traditions.
The building was constructed in the late 19th century when the growing congregation needed a larger place of worship. Its completion shortly afterward allowed the community to hold services in a new, spacious structure.
The church serves as a spiritual center for the local congregation and draws visitors interested in its interior furnishings and two organs. The building reflects how important the evangelical Lutheran community of Örgryte considered music and communal worship.
The building is open to the public and offers visitors the opportunity to view its architectural features. Regular worship services and occasional tours make it possible to explore the interior fully.
The church was built using red bricks from the Skåne region, which give it its distinctive appearance. This specific material choice makes the building visually recognizable in Gothenburg's architectural landscape.
