  • Multiple dates available
  • Pre-booking not required

Visit the Grade II* Listed Gustaf Adolf Church in Liverpool. Designed and built by the world famous architect William Douglas Caroe in 1883. The building was constructed under an Indenture granted by the Aldermen and Citizens of Liverpool in 1883.

 

Come and visit or have a guided tour of the church and learn about the history of the Nordic Community in Liverpool and its contribution to the culture of the city and its environs. Sample some homemade Nordic Cake refreshment washed down with some of the best coffee in town.

Gustaf Adolfs Kyrka, the Nordic church in Liverpool, is a Grade II* listed building. Dating from 1883, it is a functioning Lutheran Church, with services normally at least twice a month. However it is also much more. As a Cultural Centre for the Nordic community and other local organisations, it hosts numerous events, including coffee mornings, a handicraft group, and concerts and is also used for practice by choirs and other performing artists.. Heritage Open Day visitors will have the opportunity to buy cake and coffee and decide for themselves if this reputation is justified.

The community almost lost the building some seventeen years ago and had to fight hard over a period of 3 years to prevent it from being sold. It makes an interesting story.
It is an unusual building, being on three floors and as there is no lift, visitors must be prepared to negotiate several stairs.
