St. Andrew's Church, Gothenburg
St. Andrew's Church is part of the Church of England and was consecrated in 1857. There has been a Church of England congregation in Gothenburg for centuries. From 1747 to 1883, foreigners living in Gothenburg could register births, deaths, and marriages with the Gothenburg English Parish. Parishioners met at a local house, and an English priest performed services.
Swedish architect Adolf Wilhelm Edelsvard designed St. Andrew's Church. Half of the construction funds came from the Church of England, and half came from local parishioners. The facade is neo-Gothic and made with yellow brick and sandstone.
Stained glass windows depict Matthew, Mark, Paul, Peter, and John. These windows were designed and crafted in Scotland. The 14-stop organ was inaugurated in 1862.
St. Andrew's Church has services in English every Sunday.
