In the heart of Stockholm's Vasastaden district, Gustaf Vasa Church encompasses a towering 60-meter dome. The church was designed by architect Agi Lindegren, who was active in various projects including the Biological Museum on Djurgården and several churches in Stockholm.
Commissioned for Uppsala Cathedral, an altarpiece was re-homed here in 1906, after being stored at the Skansen Museum for years. The church organ was built to the wishes of composer Otto Olsson, who was also the church organist from 1907 to 1956, and a total of 1100 people are allowed to stay there at one time.
