Adolph Frederick's Church

Adolph Frederick Church is a church dedicated to the King of Sweden, the founder of the country. By the way, Frederick was his uncle to Queen Catherine II. The church was built on the site of the wooden chapel of St. Olof in 1774.

The church is a prime example of Baroque architecture. The monument is perfectly preserved both inside and outside. The church has a cemetery with the burials of such Swedish famous personalities as Olof Palme, Johan Tobias Sergel and Karl Halmar Branting. Until 1666, the body of Descartes rested in this church cemetery (he was later transferred to Paris).

Inside the church is a monument that depicts the Truth in the form of a ball, freed from the veils of falsehood. The initiator of the creation of the sculpture was the son of Adolf Frederick – Swedish King Gustav III.
