Högalid Church ( Swedish: Högalidskyrkan) is a protected church located in the Södermalm district of Stockholm, Sweden. [1] It was designed by architect Ivar Tengbom. Built upon elevated ground 1916–1923, in a barren area later turned into a park, [2] it is one of the most prominent buildings in the city, complementing the contemporary Stockholm City Hall on the opposite side of Riddarfjärden. The church is considered one of Sweden's foremost examples of the National Romantic architectural style. [3]
