Church in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Paul's Church (Swedish: Sankt Paulskyrkan), also known as St. Paul's Chapel, is a former United Methodist Church of Sweden church located in Mariatorget, a square and a city park in Södermalm, central Stockholm.
The parish church, an 1876 neo-Gothic brick structure, was designed by the Swedish architects and brothers Axel and Hjalmar Kumlien.[1]
The congregation was formed in 1868, the first Methodist church in Sweden. In 2013 it became part of the Uniting Church in Sweden (Swedish: Equmeniakyrkan) with the formation of that denomination.[2] Owing to its declining enrollment, the remaining parishioners dissolved the parish and sold the church to Stockholms stadsmission, a local charitable organization, in 2015.[3]
