Zettervall, Helgo Nikolaus
Zettervall, Helgo Nikolaus (1831–1907). Important Swedish architect of the 1870s and 1880s, strongly influenced by Viollet-le-Duc. He was best known for his comprehensive restorations of Lund Cathedral (1860–80— which involved considerable rebuilding in which stylistic uniformity prevailed over the conservation of historic fabric), at Uppsala Cathedral his faith in concrete mixes as an alternative to traditional masonry of free-stones was misplaced. As Chief of the National Board of Public Building in Stockholm, he produced many works, all eclectic, and all interesting. As a church architect he also restored the Cathedral of Skara (1886–94), and built All Saints, Lund (1861–91), St Matthew's, Norrköping (completed 1892), and the Oscar Fredrik Church, Göteborg (completed 1893). He published an influential book on church-restoration, and also designed many fine ecclesiastical furnishings and fittings (those at All Saints, Lund).
