Gothenburg Cathedral, Lutheran cathedral in central Gothenburg, Sweden
The white sandstone cathedral features Neoclassical architecture with a 52-meter tower, Ionic pilasters, and Empire-style decorations in white and gold tones.
After fires destroyed previous churches in 1721 and 1802, architect Carl Wilhelm Carlberg designed the current cathedral, which opened its doors in 1815.
The cathedral serves as the episcopal seat for the Diocese of Gothenburg and maintains regular services in both Swedish and English languages.
The cathedral accommodates 800 visitors, provides accessibility features, and organizes concerts, ceremonies, and religious services throughout the year.
The altar displays golden sculptures created by Jacques Adrien Masreliez, while beneath the floor lie remains of previous church structures from 1633.
