Carl Johans kyrka stands on Sågberget in Majorna, Gothenburg. Visit Sweden says it was closed for renovation in 2024/2025; its entry does not establish whether it has reopened by November 2026. The renovation note refers to those years, not to a current opening schedule. It does not say when work ended or when visitors may enter, so check its current status before making a special trip. The entry gives no visiting hours or admission price.
The church first opened in 1826. It was named for King Karl XIV Johan, who visited a nearby porter brewery a few years before the church was completed. The church’s name connects it to that visit and the brewery. The site is heritage listed.
For visitors with access needs, Visit Sweden lists a ramp, an accessible toilet and a hearing loop. The listing gives no visit duration, so plan your time once access is confirmed.
