What is a tram depot doing in a church? Well, not exactly in it. But Immanuel Church in Stockholm in fact stands on the site of a former tram depot. You see that bustling street? That’s Birger Jarlsgatan, and just around the corner is Kungstensgatan. Right at this intersection, where the modern church now stands, used to be a place of roaring engines and clanging bells of a different kind. Designed by architect Sture Frölén, Immanuel Church was completed in 1974. The entire block, including offices and a hotel, was part of the project. The Stockholm City Museum considers this church a prime example of 1970s modernist architecture and a site of historical significance. Next time you picture a church, you might not think of tram depots, but here in Stockholm, the echoes of the city’s past resonate in unexpected places.
