Stockholm - Adolf Frederikskyrka

From Stockholm's Concert Hall a broad avenue, Sveavägen, runs northwest, passing on the left the Adolf Frederikskyrka (1774), which contains sculpture by the Swedish sculptor J. T. Sergel (d. 1814) and a monument to the French philosopher Descartes, who died in Stockholm in 1650 (his remains were taken to Paris in 1666). Towards the far end of Sveavägen are the Commercial College and the Municipal Library (Stadsbiblioteket), and at the end the Wenner-Gren Research Center (1961). From the Municipal Library Karlbergsvägen runs west to Karlberg Castle (17th C.), now a military academy, on the lake of the same name.
