Carl Johan Church

Carl Johan Church (Swedish: Carl Johans kyrka) is a Church of Sweden parish church on Sagberget, in Gothenburg. The church, designed by Fredrik Blom, is named after King Charles XIV John (Karl XIV Johan), who a year before the opening ceremony in 1826 was on a visit to the nearby porter brewery at Klippan.

The parish serves Kungsladugård, Nya Varvet, Sandarna and large parts of Majorna.
