John the Baptist Catholic Church
John the Baptist Catholic Church (Swedish: Johannes Döparens katolska kyrka) is a catholic church and congregation located in Landskrona, Sweden. The church was originally a methodist church from its inauguration in 1905, however in 1995 the roman-catholic church in Sweden acquired the church after the methodist congregation had ceased its activity. The building was renovated in order to prepare for its reinauguration as a catholic church.During its time as a methodist church, the name of the church building was the Betel Church (Swedish: Betelkyrkan). The inauguration in 1995 was officiated by the bishop Hubertus Brandenburg. In 2006, a major interior renovation took place, leading to the present appearance of the Neo-Gothic church room. Next to the crucifix, the choir has a sculpture of Mary with the baby Jesus on the left and the patron saint of the congregation and Landskrona City, Johannes the Baptist, as a sculpture on the left at the baptismal font.
