The Original Church
Before the first cathedral was inaugurated in 1633, a temporary church, which was known as the Gothenburg stave church (Swedish: Brädekyrkan), stood on the site for approximately 12 years. The Stave Church was one of the first buildings in the city and the first church in the current city of Gothenburg—the third city founded at the mouth of the Göta River and the second to have been named Gothenburg.

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or church:
“I would like [the working man] to give me back books and newspapers and theories. And I would like to give him back, in return, his old insouciance, and rich, original spontaneity and fullness of life.”

“The Anglican Church is marked by the grace and good sense of its forms, by the manly grace of its clergy. The gospel it preaches is, “By taste are ye saved.” ... It is not in ordinary a persecuting church; it is not inquisitorial, not even inquisitive, is perfectly well bred and can shut its eyes on all proper occasions. If you let it alone, it will let you alone. But its instinct is hostile to all change in politics, literature, or social arts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
