Designed by architect Sigfrid Ericson, Johannebergskyrkan church opened its doors on Thanksgiving Day 1940, when the world was besieged by World War II. The stunning altar piece, which is a bronze sculpture by Johan Lundqvist, but the true highlight of the church, perhaps not known to many, is its underground, spherical room located underground. While it is not very clear as to what purpose this room served, it is commonly believed that it was a refuge against gunfighting, bomb attacks and frequent battles during the war. Johannebergskyrkan also organizes workshops, biblelessons and events for both children and adults.
