Plans to build the New Church started in the 1840s but Hagakyrkan was not finished until 1859. A big part of the delay was the lack of funds until David Carnegie Jr., a Scottish brewer who ran a successful mill in Gothenburg, made a large donation. This neo-gothic structure with its impressive bell tower is capped by a green copper spire. Haga Kyrka looms large over the Haga neighborhood.
