Helgo Nikolaus Zettervall, older spelling Zetterwall, (21 November 1831 – 17 March 1907) was a Swedisharchitect and professor of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts.[1][2] He is best known for his drastic restorations of churches and other buildings around Sweden. [2][1]
Zettervall was a proponent of Gothic Revival architecture and is most commonly associated with his design of the plans for the extensive restoration of Lund Cathedral during the late 19th century.[3][4]
He was chief of Board superintendent for the administration of state buildings (Överintendentsämbetet) from 1882–97. Zettervall was the chief architect in the restoration of old buildings and churches in Sweden during the period 1860–90. Among other commissions, Zettervall designed the plans for the renovation of Lund Cathedral (1860–1902) and Uppsala Cathedral (1886–1893). He was appointed to several other large scale restorations including Linköping Cathedral (1877–86), Skara Cathedral (1886–94) and Uppsala Cathedral (1885–93), as well as the Kalmar Castle (1886–90).
Oscar Fredrik Church (Oscar Fredriks kyrka) in Gothenburg was constructed on the basis of plans drawn by Helgo Zetterwall. The church was inaugurated on 2 April 1893 and is a prime example of Northern European Gothic Revival architecture. Zettervall was the main proponent of Gothic Revival architecture of church buildings. His influence has been criticized for his restoration principles. His restorations were often not intended to bring back old looks, but according to Zettervall to restore them according to the ideals in the style they were originally built in.[7]
