Uppenbarelsekyrkan opened in 1913 and is heritage listed. Ferdinand Boberg was commissioned to design a church for Saltsjöbaden. He designed its interior, furnishings and decoration, apart from Carl Milles’s sculptures. Milles made the sculpture; Olle Hjortzberg painted the figures, while Filip Månsson made the connected decorative paintings. Oscar Brandtberg worked on sketches and preparatory designs, and Johnny Roosval advised on art history.

Nathan Söderblom wrote the church’s religious programme around his idea of revelation, before he became archbishop. For the opening, composer Hugo Alfvén created a cantata called Uppenbarelsekantaten. A quotation from Romans appears in the burial chapel and at the end of the cantata. It says that people live and die for the Lord. The commissions covered the church’s architecture, decoration and music. The artists’ distinct roles give visitors a way to look at the church through its architecture, sculpture and paintings.
