St Peter and St Sigfrid

St Peter and St Sigfrid
The English church at Diplomat City in Stockholm. It has an interesting history. The first design was abandoned, and a new architect took over and redesigned the church. It was built at Wallingatan in Stockholm. Construction finished in 1866. And then in 1913 it was moved, stone by stone, to where it stands today at Diplomatstaden on Östermalm. One reason for the move was an initiative from the British-born Princess Margaret of Connaught.

A handsome church, but stone by stone? Well, those Victorian offspring were many and married into as many off shore royals as they could manage.
