Hjorthagskyrkan

The church was built between 1907 and 1909 to designs by architect Carl Bergsten, following a competition in 1904. Local church authorities in the then-parish of Hedvig Eleonora initially objected to Bergsten's brick façades, fearing they would blend too closely with surrounding buildings, but the architect held his ground and his design was realised. Construction began in 1907 under master builder Vilhelm Norrbin, and the church was consecrated on 25 March 1909 by Archbishop Johan August Ekman.

The exterior, built in red brick with patterned brickwork on a granite plinth, blends the decorative influence of the Wiener Werkstätte with the brick-building traditions of Swedish National Romanticism. Inside, the basilica-form nave is unusually light, with a broad, tunnel-vaulted central aisle featuring a clerestory, flanked by low, narrow side aisles that serve as passages. Apart from the organ façade, the interior survives largely intact, offering a rare and coherent example of early twentieth-century decorative design.

The decorative scheme in the nave was carried out by Filip Månsson, one of the most sought-after decorative painters of his day, working from Bergsten's designs. The chancel's stained-glass windows are the work of artist Eigil Schwab, while the altarpiece, modelled in lime mortar, was sculpted by Tore Strindberg after Bergsten's sketches. Strindberg also created the church's most memorable feature: a large gilded wooden stag, over 170 centimetres tall, bearing a cross and radiant sun between its antlers, referencing the legend of Saint Hubertus and displayed prominently in the chancel.

The font, designed by Bergsten and carved from soapstone by sculptor N Arthur Sandin, stands on a three-sided base resembling tree trunks. The Mikael Chapel, to the left of the main entrance, was originally used for baptisms, weddings and small gatherings, though much of its space is now occupied by a lift.

The church stands on the highest point of Jägarberget, within a garden-like churchyard no longer used for burials, enclosed by granite walls, steps and balustrades. Its wrought-iron gates, decorated with running stags and the monograms of the church and parish, were designed by court intendant G Lindgren, while the entrance lanterns were designed by Bergsten himself. The organ, built in 1961 by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri, replaced an earlier 1910 instrument and retains a mechanical action with a façade designed by Lars Stalin.
