Belonging to the Gothenburg Oscar Fredrik Parish of the Church of Sweden, it was inaugurated on Easter Sunday 1893. The style is Neo Gothic, but the influence is not the Nordic gothic style but rather the style one can find in the large cathedrals in continental Europe. The church and the parish got its name from king Oscar II.
