Hedvig Church, Baroque church in Norrköping, Sweden

Hedvig Church is a brick church at Tyska torget in central Norrköping, with a tall square tower at the front left topped by a tiered spire and a small gold finial. The tower face has clock dials and gold-trimmed arched recesses, and below it is a pale wide arched entrance with a small round window above. The main body extends to the right under a long green sloping roof, with tall arched windows and a light-colored cornice along the roofline.

German residents received permission for their own congregation in 1613, but the church was only begun on 27 April 1670, when Governor Anders Liljehök and pastor Andreas Adam Hammerhelf laid the foundation stone. It was roofed and consecrated on 1 November 1673, named after Queen Hedvig Eleonora. Russian troops burned it in 1719, and it was rebuilt with donations by 1723; the tower, completed 1693–1695, later collapsed and was rebuilt by 1758.

The church displays German heritage through a pulpit imported in the 1720s and a baptismal font originally from Stegeborg castle. These objects reflect the religious traditions of the German-speaking community that once worshipped here.

The church stands at Tyska torget in central Norrköping, on the north side of the Motala ström. The west tower's spire leans slightly westward, a detail visible from the square. The 1996 removal of the altar rail and podium opened the chancel for closer viewing.

The tower's spire leans slightly westward, a tilt caused by ground subsidence under the tower; the unstable lower section was demolished and a wooden upper structure built, completed in 1758. The clock dials and gold-trimmed recesses on the brick tower face are worth a look from Tyska torget.
