Mikaelskyrkan is a church building in Uppsala and belongs to the Domkyrkolas Assembly in Uppsala dift. The building is located on Skolgatan closest to the railway, and was built to serve what was then Uppsala’s poorest area, Svartbäcken. The church could be built through a donation from August Mikael Posse. The church was designed by Axel Kumlien and was inaugurated on Mikaeli Day in 1892 and was called the Mikael Kapelet at the time. The name here is not a saint name, but comes from the donor’s name. At the end of the 19th century, various preachers served at the chapel. Among other things, 1893 evening prayers were held for about 300 boys on Wednesdays and about 500 girls on Thursdays. In 1940 the chapel underwent a thorough renovation. The large altar window was re-set and the interior was largely replaced. In 1960, the chapel was restored again, and also came to be called Mikael Church. Only now did they celebrate family worship and perform baptism in the church.
