Johann Gustav Stockenberg

Johan(n) Gustav Stockenberg (c. 1660 – c. 1710, Tallinn) was a Swedish sculptor, wood carver and stonemason who worked in Sweden, Russia and mainly in Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia).

[3] Stockenberg was born in Sweden (probably in Stockholm)[1] and came to Reval (Tallinn) from Copenhagen (Denmark), where he had moved with his brother in law Abraham-César Lamoureux in 1681.

[4] He lived on St. Anthony's Hill in Reval [5] and took part in the reconstruction of Saint Mary's Cathedral after it had been severely damaged by fire in 1684.

[6][7] From 1687 he was employed to work on conversions and improvements to Toompea Castle.

[5] His best known works are several stone sarcophagi that were commissioned for prominent people buried in Saint Mary's Cathedral,[10] notably the grave monuments for Otto Reinhold Taube [et],[11] as well as the Swedish Field Marshals Fabian von Fersen (crafted by Stockenberg at the end of the 17th century)[12] and Otto Wilhelm von Fersen.
