Carl Oskar Möller, (20 April 1857, Malmö - 4 December 1933), was a Swedish architect and public official, since 1896 married to Dagmar Bosse. His most well-known works include St. John's Church in Stockholm, which opened in 1890. Möller was in his time in architectural arrangement terms one of the foremost exponents among Swedish architects. ==Life and career== Möller was educated in Stockholm at Konstfack from 1870 to 1873, and at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts between 1873 and 1879, when he was awarded with the Royal Medal. The years 1879-1881, he made a study trip to Germany, France, England, Italy and Austria and was in the winter of 1879-80 in Paris, as a student at the École des Beaux-Arts (Atelier Guadet).
