Saint John's Church

The red brick structure reaches a height of 70 meters and features intricate patterns in the cornice and moldings throughout its exterior design.

The church opened its doors on May 25, 1890, during the Feast of Pentecost, replacing an older wooden church that previously stood at this location.

Dedicated to Saint John the Evangelist, this religious building maintains regular services under the administration of the Church of Sweden in Stockholm.

The church welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Saturday between 11:00 and 16:00, offering access to its Gothic Revival architecture and internal spaces.

René Descartes was initially buried in the church cemetery in 1650, and today a memorial inside the building commemorates his temporary resting place.
