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.
