The Adolf Fredrik Church was inaugurated in 1774, and is named after its founder, the Swedish eighteenth-century King Adolf Fredrik. Before the church was built, there was a cemetery and a wooden chapel, St. Olof's, on the site. The chapel was razed when construction of the church began. The church is an example of Baroque architecture and the cemetery is the final resting place of a number of famous historic personalities. Among them are Johan Tobias Sergel, Hjalmar Branting and Olof Palme.
