Härlanda Church Ruins (Swedish: Härlanda kyrkoruin) are the remains of a medieval church in Gothenburg, Sweden. [1]

History

The church was built in the first part of the 12th century and torn down in 1528 by request from King Gustav I of Sweden to build Lödöse which became an important trade city and which would serve as the precursor of Gothenburg which was founded in 1621. The ruin were excavated by Gothenburg Museum curator Carl Ramsell af Ugglas (1884-1946) and restored at the expense of the City of Gothenburg in 1925. [2] [3] [4]
