At Oxelösund. Wow, this is great architecture!

I have written about Brännkyrka church before, just do a search in the blog at the right side or or click at category “churches” to read more.

Chimney swept in fog in the background. Hjorthagen is an old living area for factory workers and dockers. There are great buildings from the time when functionalist (funkis) architecture were popular.

At the front of the church.

[mob] [chu] The church of Hjorthagen – Jugend Built between 1907-1909 and inaugurated in 1909 by archbishop Johan August Ekman. The architect was Carl Bergstens who won a competition in 1904.

Built in 1899 from plan drawings of Erik Otto Ulrich. Moved from Frejgatan/Tulegatan at Norrmalm in Stockholm city to its present place at Aspudden in 1904.

Beneath the church there’s a huge columbarium.

At the wall. Quite modest.

Built by Olof Hammarberg at 1961.

I really like this, so full of feeling.

Beautiful with the reflections from the window light.

This must be one of the most beautiful churches I ever seen. And it was called “the first Nordic Cathedral” at the inauguration. In the windows you can interpret most of the visions of Johannes from The Book of Revelation. The windows are made by the glass artist Ralph Bergholtz.

Over the square before the entrance to the church.

This was an open square from the beginning but it now has…

Each bell has an inscription from The Book of Revelation.

I just love this architecture. It was built at the top of the rock of pilgrimage, and inaugurated in 1961. The architect was Johannes Olivegren.
