Adolf Fredrik Church is a Neoclassical church in central Stockholm, Sweden, named after Adolf Frederick. Designed by Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz and built of brick, it was constructed between 1768 and 1774 to replace a wooden chapel from 1674. Its cemetery is where René Descartes was first buried in 1650, before his remains were moved to France.
