Lonely Planet review for Lutheran Church

When the Swedes took the area they sought to convert the Orthodox population by building the gigantic Lutheran Church in 1796. It’s also known as the Church of a Hundred Angels for its stunning paintings completed in 1832 by Samuel Elmgren, which with their vivid images of faith would have done much to sway illiterate locals to the Western faith.
