  “I know it’s good… it can not be better…”*

  - Léonie Geisendorf

  Léonie Geisendorf receives letters from architects that wants to support her in fight to build the church at Kungsträdgården in Stockholm. They sign petitions and speak out in the press. Everyone is convinced that the proposal is exceptional and should be built. For thirteen years, Geisendorf works on her dream project, but in the end, the architect Jørgen Kjærgaard later gets the job to build a new Catholic church behind the historic façade on Kungsträdgården. It is in that

  church that Geisendorf is buried on April 8, 2016.

  * Letter to journalist Birgitta Trotzig, 1976.
