Gothenburg Cathedral
Gustavi domkyrka
A neoclassical cathedral named after Gustav II Adolf, the city's founder, with a bright and simple interior.
The cathedral was first built in 1633 and was destroyed by fire twice. The current building was completed in 1815 and is one of the few neoclassical churches in Sweden. Its white interior is accented by a gold altar and organ, and the bell tower stands about 50 metres tall. The church is named after Gustav II Adolf, the founder of the city. Entry is free, and organ and choral concerts are frequently held. Located in the centre of the old town, it is a few minutes' walk from the canal and the shopping streets.
Opening hours
