Gustav Vasa Church

This is a church that is stepping into the 21st century with style. It has always had a tradition of doing things its own way. It opened in 1906 and caused a slight uproar due to the fact that the architect had dared mix different styles in the making and incorporated many details that "just didn't go together". In this day and age it might be harder to spot, mainly due to the fact that the Stockholm is more versatile and less sheltered now than back at the end of the 18th century. But of course any architect buff should be able to spot the inconsistencies.

Today the church is a well liked tourist attraction but also one of the few churches that holds services specifically for the Gay Community, on the third Sunday every month. As always, this church is stepping out of the box and into a better future. Leading the way and setting the trends instead of following them.
