Lundby Old Church

About

Lundby Old Church is one of Gothenburg’s most atmospheric historic churches, set on a quiet hill in the Lundby district on Hisingen. Dating back to the 14th century, it is among the oldest surviving buildings in the city, with whitewashed stone walls and a simple, timeless silhouette that reflects its medieval origins. The interior is intimate and serene, featuring wooden furnishings, soft light, and traces of earlier decorative layers that reveal centuries of parish life. Surrounded by an old churchyard and mature trees, the church offers a peaceful contrast to the modern neighbourhoods around it. Still an active parish, Lundby Old Church remains a cherished landmark where history, community, and tradition meet in a uniquely tranquil setting.
