The bishop of the Church of Sweden's Gothenburg diocese resides in Gothenburg Cathedral. This cathedral marks the third time the site has hosted a place of worship. It was constructed in 1815 and features a classical design. The original Gustavi church was erected in 1633 and was given its name in honor of King Gustav II Adolf.
Kungsportsplatsen or King's Gate Place is located in the heart of Gothenburg. The city gate served as the primary entry to the walled settlement, which was and remains enclosed by a moat.
Located in the heart of Gothenburg, the Garden Society of Gothenburg is a park and horticultural garden. Adjacent to Kungsportsavenyen, it is a convenient location. In 1842, at the urging of amateur botanist Henric Elof von Normann, King Carl XIV Johan established the park.
