Skåne's Fagerhult's new church
Drawings for the new church were made in 1897 by architect Adrian Crispin Peterson from Gothenburg and his son Carl Crispin. The church was inaugurated in 1900. The builders went in bankruptcy and construction work stopped for a period and became more expensive than
congregation planned.
Peterson (1835-1912) was educated at Chalmers and the Art Academy in Stockholm. He was an architect at the Office of the Superintendent and a practicing architect in Gothenburg.
Peterson has designed over 30 churches in the country, most of them in the Diocese of Gothenburg. Skåne's Fagerhult was until 1949 annex to Hishult, which belongs to the Diocese of Gothenburg.
