Masthugget Church, National Romantic church in Stigberget, Sweden

Masthugget Church is a brick church building standing at the highest point of Stigberget hill with a dominant tower. The structure houses a large altarpiece with religious depictions and a major organ inside.

The parish of Masthugg was created on 1 January 1908 by splitting the original parish, and in 1906 the church council had already decided to build a new church. Gothenburg city council granted the Stigberget plot on 12 September 1907, and an architectural competition was launched on 4 November 1907. Sigfrid Ericson's National Romantic proposal 15/2 was adopted on 24 May 1909; construction began in December 1910 and the church was consecrated on 14 October 1914 by Bishop Edvard Herman Rodhe. The final cost reached 526,000 kronor against an estimate of 365,000.

The name comes from Masthugget, the hill district tied to Gothenburg's harbour and shipbuilding past. Inside, the church has 1,050 seats, 250 of them on the galleries, and the cross beams and columns carry carved ornamental bands. The wrought-iron chandeliers are decorated with dragon heads.

The church sits on a hilltop with views over the harbor and is easily reached on foot. Keep in mind there are stairs inside, and it is best to check opening times before visiting.

The tower spire is a 6–7 m iron construction clad in copper, topped by a gilded cross with the king's monogram and a weathervane rooster 127 m above sea level. The rooster turns with the wind.
