Did you know a church could travel? The Seglora Church, right here in Skansen, has quite a journey behind it. Seglora Church wasn’t always a Stockholm landmark. It originally stood in the Seglora parish in western Sweden, built sometime between 1729 and 1730. Imagine a rural landscape, far from the bustling city. Then, in 1916, the church was sold, dismantled, and transported piece by piece to Skansen. It was like a giant, sacred puzzle, reassembled here on the island of Djurgården. The Seglora Church reopened at Skansen in 1918. Its distinctive red-painted wooden roof and walls add a splash of color to the open-air museum. Today, at Skansen, the Seglora Church isn’t just a historical exhibit. It’s a living piece of history, hosting Lucia concerts during Christmas time. These concerts are included with the price of admission to Skansen, offering visitors a chance to experience the church’s unique atmosphere filled with festive music. The Seglora Church is also a popular wedding venue. Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by the charm of old Sweden, the traditional musicians of Skansen perhaps playing as you arrive in a horse-drawn carriage. Seglora Church, a testament to a bygone era, continues to create new memories in its adopted home of Stockholm.
