Gustav Adolf Church, Liverpool

Gustav Adolf Church (Swedish: Gustav Adolfs kyrka[1]) or the Scandinavian Seamen's Church (Swedish: Skandinaviska sjömanskyrkan) is a historical building located in Park Lane, Liverpool, Merseyside, England.

It consists of a church, built between 1883 and 1884, and an attached minister's house, and provides a centre for the Liverpool International Nordic Community.

[3] During the later part of the 19th century, large numbers of Scandinavian emigrants were passing through Liverpool, and there was a need to serve their spiritual needs.

[3] The building is constructed in red brick, with a roof of tiles and copper sheathing, and consists of a church with a minister's house attached to the southeast.

The central bay consists of a three-storey stair tower, containing windows with pointed arches, and surmounted by a lead-covered spire.

To the right of this, the middle of the three bays rises to a greater height, and has a crowstepped gable containing three stepped lancet windows.
