Sörsjö 1954 - Folke Heybroek

Sörsjö 1954

Again in co-operation with the architect Sven Söderholm, with glass also made at Ringström’s, Folke was given a freer hand in the design of three new altar windows for this modern, plain and honest building.

These bold and exciting windows greatly enhance the success of the building as a whole.
